Re-visioning Women and Place

These two books well attest to the fecundity of Patricia Yaeger's call in Dirt and Desire (2000) for "reconstructed" readings of twentieth-century southern women writers that explode the conventional proscriptions and prescriptions with which such texts have been approached most particularly by abolishing the segregation of these writers according to race. Both Katherine Henninger and Barbara Ladd have made this project their own, and in so doing they have pushed Yaeger's revisionist aims forward, finding new critical restrictions and blind spots to overturn. For Henninger, the categorizations to be troubled have to do with discipline and medium: Ordering the Facade insists that we attend to the twentieth-century South as a primally visual, as well as oral and literary, culture. In reminding us of the central importance of photographic images in the making of the modern and postmodern South, Henninger also asks that we attend to the inextricable intersections of text and image in southern culture, and, further, that we think about the special ways that this cultural visuality has focused on the literal and figurative bodies of women.
