Working the Circuit: Cultural Studies of Florida



Guest Editors: Aisha Durham, Wesley Johnson, and Sasha Sanders, University
of South Florida



Florida figures prominently in the US American imaginary. It is a
spectacular state of escape for spring breaking coeds, disneyfied kids, and
sun-seeking =E2=80=9Csnowbirds=E2=80=9D who flock south among resettled ret=
irees, new
migrants, longtime locals, and Indigenous communities to cocreate a
cultural m=C3=A9lange of cosmopolitan, coastal, and country sensibility. Lo=
ng
before a presidential New Yorker relocated to a rebranded neo-confederacy,
news media and new media already reduced its carnivalesque oddity to a
meme. This special issue departs from shorthand comedic snapshots of the
Sunshine State by providing methodologically thick, fleshy interpretive
analyses that take seriously its cultural politics, people, and popular
forms. It attends to the aims and scope of *Departures in Critical
Qualitative Research* by privileging experiential, experimental, and
embodied approaches represented as personal narrative, textual experience
(Durham, 2014), intersectional and decolonial cultural critique,
performative writing, mystory, and critical autoethnography. =E2=80=9CWorki=
ng the
Circuit=E2=80=9D invites inventive research about cultural practices, produ=
cts,
policies, and performances by drawing from the canonical circuit of culture
model (du Gay, Hall et. al, 1997), which emphasizes the interrelated nature
of culture and power permeating each key moment.



=E2=80=9CWorking the Circuit,=E2=80=9D is a timely special issue for two re=
asons: It
highlights meaningful conversations about the state when it will take
center stage during the upcoming presidential election, and when it will
become the home-base for big fan communities with WrestleMania 36 and
SuperBowl LIV.  In addition to national popular and political events, local
conversations about cultural difference, climate change, precarity, and
participatory democracy in Florida set the stage for broader ones in US
American society.  In both spheres, Florida is a site of critical inquiry
that is timely and important to the development of contemporary cultural
studies.
