The Border: Motif, Metaphor, and Political Football

Chattanooga State Humanities and Fine Arts Division

Join Dr. Katheryn Thompson as she explores the cultural and historical transformation of "the border."

 

<p>This month’s virtual Chautauqua is titled <strong>“The Border: Motif, Metaphor, and Political Football”</strong> and features Dr. Katheryn Thompson. As our nation expanded west after the Civil War, the people found a land that was huge, grand, dry and wild, like they had never seen before. This landscape soon became a common theme of our national narrative and the border was frequently an aspect of that narrative. However, in the last forty years the border has come to dominate all narratives of the west. Join Dr. Thompson as she explores how, when, and why this cultural and historical transformation of the border occurred.</p>
