All Things Pointing Home
Abstract
Thomas Wolfe has written, "All things on earth point home"¦." I wonder how often we recognize this truth. Sometimes, it seems, we do in fact have to return home to remember who we are. In The Autobiographical Demand of Place: Curriculum Inquiry in the American South, Brian Casemore suggests we do precisely this: interrogate our past in order to understand our present and that future awaiting us. By bravely stepping out of a dominant narrative of Southerness and into risky psychoanalysis, Casemore attempts this understanding of identity as a conscious being struggling with difficult (or guilt-ridden) desire and knowledge. In doing so within an at times intense public reflection, he successfully leads us into our own introspective unsettling while asking us to step out of our narcissisms, our own superficial definitions of place, and out of our own identities in order to discover and confront our own understanding of who we think we have become.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
