Jay Watson argues that southern literary studies has been overidealized and dominated by intellectual history for too long. In Reading for the Body , he calls for the field to be rematerialized and grounded in an awareness of the human body as the site where ideas, including ideas about the U.S. South itself, ultimately happen.
