SOUTHERN MOVIE PALACE HISTORY
From the 1920s through the 1950s, the magnificent movie theaters of the South (including Atlanta's Fox) beckoned to millions of urban patrons. By the 1960s, however, many downtown districts had experienced profound cultural and economic crises and the wrecking ball destroyed scores of the grand old structures. Those remaining today are often a critical component of downtown revitalization. Janna Jones, assistant professor of interdisciplinary studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa, has just published The Southern Movie Palace: Rise, Fall and Resurrection. Jones discusses attempts to save, restore, and reuse the movie houses. She explores how and why people attempt to resurrect the past and reveals the complex layers of cultural memory. Based on her interviews with preservationists, she offers a cultural analysis of architectural preservation in the late 20th century by examining the practices, philosophies, and politics of preservation today, shedding light on the ways that nostalgia often guides--and misguides--their work. Excerpt from University Press of Florida Web site www.upf.com/Spring2003/Jones.htm.
