Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest:
Reconstructing the Mississippi River explores the interaction of
people and environment in two contemporary rural villages in the
Midwest. Michael O. Johnston examines how place and identity are
constructed differently among residents of these two villages and
how this reflects and shapes the different experiences that people
have while attending this annual interstate festival. Johnston
analyzes media coverage about this event from local newspaper,
local television news, and freelancers who covered this festival to
show the significance of media representations in providing a
glimpse at people's experiences while attending this festival.
Throughout this book, Johnston demonstrates the dialectical
relationship between the making of identity and place at this
festival. By tracing these contemporary festivals, this book
challenges the persistent homogenization of people and place that
often exists when talking about communities in the Midwest.
