The Southern Cultures Festival Writing Event
Topic:
"Southern Families: The Ties That Bind"
University of Tennessee at Martin
We welcome responses from on campus and off
before, during, and after Southern Cultures Week (October 22-26, 2001)
The 2001 Festival focuses on Southern families through the varied lenses of art, literature, television, family and consumer science, history, political science, film, and food.
Some ideas:
- Is the Southern family different from families elsewhere? Do families in the South do things differently? What sorts of family routines does your family have?
- When we speak of the Southern family, are we talking about small, nuclear families or large, extended ones?
- Has the faster pace of 20th- and 21st-century life changed the Southern family?
- What about non-tradtional families? Is the definition of "family" changing?
Please respond to any of the above questions, or ignore them
entirely and respond to the responses which you will find below.
Also, please remember that this is a family show.
