- Corporeal Legacies in the US South is an 80,000-word monograph that surveys literature, film, television and visual culture from the twenty-first century. The book argues that contemporary cultural texts remediate memories of racial subjection and violence in the US South through an attention to embodiment. Using an array of theoretical frames—including Black studies, memory studies, American studies, posthumanism and psychoanalysis—the book offers original close readings of contemporary texts (some of which with little to no commentary on them) to reveal the ways that the past is made manifest in their textual representations.
