The Southern Gothic on Screen explores a body of screen texts that
conform to certain generic conventions and aesthetics that, since
the early twentieth century, have led to the construction of the
American South as a space of ruin, decay, melancholy, loss, and
haunting. The book considers the cultural significance of the
Southern Gothic on screen by examining southern otherness as the
primary mechanism through which the South is rendered a space of
darkness and danger. This opens up a critical space for the
Southern Gothic to be discussed as a screen genre with its own
complex visual, thematic and narrative codes. The book establishes
a perspective that synthesizes a broad understanding of Southern
Gothic genericity with pre-existing cultural and political
discourses on the South, resulting in an analysis that is specific
to film and television while remaining heedful of the intersecting
discourses that inform both the Gothic and the South as historic
and mediated constructs.
