    Georgia State University ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University English Theses Department of English 8-11-2015 How the Performances, Song Lyrics, and Activism of the Indigo Girls Demonstrate the Mutable Composition of Southern Identity Alison Law Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/english_theses Recommended Citation Law, Alison, "How the Performances, Song Lyrics, and Activism of the Indigo Girls Demonstrate the Mutable Composition of Southern Identity." Thesis, Georgia State University, 2015. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/english_theses/191 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of English at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in English Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. HOW THE PERFORMANCES, SONG LYRICS, AND ACTIVISM OF THE INDIGO GIRLS DEMONSTRATE THE MUTABLE COMPOSITION OF SOUTHERN IDENTITY by ALISON LAW Under the Direction of Gina Caison, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A common misconception about the southern region of the United States is that any one part of the region can stand alone as an accurate representation of the territory as a whole. To refute any notion of a homogeneous South and demonstrate the dynamic nature of an individual or community identity, I examine the history, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls and their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. This project applies the theories of locational feminism found in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Mappings and New Southern Studies in Tara McPherson’s text Reconstructing Dixie . Analyzing the biographies, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the Indigo Girls as an archive of southern literature allows us to understand the fluid, multiplex nature of regional identity and view Atlanta as one “borderland” in a heterogeneous U.S.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
