Rather than a media history of the region or a history of southern
media, Remediating Region: New Media and the U.S. South formulates
a critical methodology for studying the continuous reinventions of
regional space across media platforms. This innovative collection
demonstrates that structures of media undergird American
regionalism through the representation of a given geography's
peoples, places, and ideologies. It also outlines how the region
answers back to the national media by circulating ever-shifting
ideas of place via new platforms that allow for self-representation
outside previously sanctioned media forms. Remediating Region
recognizes that all media was once new media. In examining how
changes in information and media modify concepts of region, it both
articulates the virtual realities of the twenty-first-century U.S.
South and historicizes the impact of "new" media on a region that
has long been mediated. Eleven essays examine media moments ranging
from the nineteenth century to the present day, among them
Frederick Douglass's utilization of early photography, video game
representations of a late capitalist landscape, rural queer
communities' engagement with social media platforms, and
contemporary technologies focused on revitalizing Indigenous
cultural practices. Interdisciplinary in scope and execution,
Remediating Region argues that on an increasingly networked planet,
concerns over the mediated region continue to inform how audiences
and participants understand their entree into a global world
through local space.
