To do so, I will study the reactions of this specific audience, through fan mail, newspaper articles, and motion picture censor reports. The reaction of another type of audience, that of African American movie critics and fans, will provide a useful counterpoint, as this audience identified Southern accents with a \u201cNegro dialect\u201d which stultified African American characters and prevented them from overcoming stereotypes. Through language, the racial politics of the South made its way onto the silver screen, in an increasingly racially-conflicted Hollywood \u2013 a fact that Southerners in Hollywood were aware of but which some tried to interrogate in their own works.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Captation de la s\u00e9ance accessible en ligne : <a href=\"https:\/\/scalelite-conf.univ-rennes2.fr\/playback\/presentation\/2.3\/f847f2dec7a8b9e35fcf82e1bf8e53c1e767644b-1739450468363\">https:\/\/scalelite-conf.univ-rennes2.fr\/playback\/presentation\/2.3\/f847f2dec7a8b9e35fcf82e1bf8e53c1e767644b-1739450468363<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La s\u00e9ance du 13 f\u00e9vrier 2025 (14h-16h, salle L265) est consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 une communication de Claire Dutriaux (Sorbonne Universit\u00e9), intitul\u00e9e\u00a0\u00ab \u2018So-called Southern Speech:\u2019 the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tribe_events_cat":[39],"class_list":["post-1745","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-seance-de-seminaire","cat_seance-de-seminaire"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/1745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/1745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1914,"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/1745\/revisions\/1914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites-recherche.univ-rennes2.fr\/ace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=1745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
