CFP: The Transcultural South in Film; (10/15/06; SASA,
2/14/07-2/18/07)
This panel for the Southern American Studies Association
conference will explore filmic intersections between the
culture of the U.S. South and the cultures of other
locations around the globe. Among many potential topics,
papers might investigate invocations of the American South
in films produced outside the U.S. or they might explore how
films set in the American South represent, reflect, or
sublimate multicultural interactions within the region.

Immigration is a phenomenon that contemporary societies struggle with. In this context the figure of the foreigner is a good scenario to explore the dynamics and tensions of cultures in contact. The liminal perspective provided by the outsider adds a new interpretation of our own reality, questioning the foundations of the canonical culture and our own identities. "What appear to be cultural units-human beings, words, meanings, ideas, philosophical systems, social organizations-are maintained in their apparent unity only through an active process of exclusion, opposition, and hierarchization.
