摘要
The International Conference on Elvis Presley, convened at the University of Mississippi in August, transformed a rock and roll icon into a scholarly phenomenon. Educators, artists, and Elvis aficionados from across the world--plus over one hundred internationally based reporters--collected on Oxford, Mississippi, soil to analyze and celebrate Elvis' impact on the world stage.From this conference, which became front page New York Times Magazine news, springs this book, the best and brightest essays and artwork swirling around the cultural, social, political, and iconographic figure of Elvis Presley. Discussed within are such topics as Elvis as Southerner, Elvis as sign system, Elvis' multicultural audiences, Elvis and rockabilly, Elvis as redneck, the Elvis oeuvre, and Elvis' religious roots. Taken together, In Search of Elvis represents a daring and groundbreaking academic analysis. Richly illustrated with original Elvis-inspired artwork, this book captures the subterranean essence of one of the most phenomenal artists to have ever lived.

Good news for Elvoids! The latest entry for the discriminating worshiper rises from the ashes of an academic conference and consists of essays reflecting the range of academic inquiry about the King. Highlights include M. Gottdiener's "Dead Elvis as Other Jesus," Elvis MacLeod's "Generation E," and Peter Nazareth's imaginative "Elvis as Anthology" (Nazareth, by the way, teaches a graduate-level seminar on Elvis--so there!). Less academic, perhaps, but equally important to pop-culture fans are editor Chadwick's transcription of a presentation by former Presley flunky Gene Smith (author of Elvis' Man Friday [1994]) and world's-number-one-Elvis-fan Paul MacLeod's "Why I'm the World's Number One Elvis Fan." Lavishly illustrated and featuring a cornucopia of documentation in the 35 pages of endnotes, this may be the perfect jumping-off point for research into the King's life and larger-than-life impact. Suitable for Elvis-intensive and Elvis-curious collections everywhere. (Reviewed January 1 & 15, 1997)0813329868Mike Tribby
