Variations on the Author

“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2016 7 25 Years and Counting As some of you may know, this year is the 25th Anniversary of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into one of the best Societies in the state of North Carolina. It is our plan all year long, to bring back information and memories from our first year. If any member, past or present, would like to share how the Society has benefited them or what it has meant to them, and you feel like sharing with everyone else, please send it to the Society and we will share it here with everyone. Just remember, our Society has grown over the years due to our members’ steadfast support of the group. With continued support, we can continue on into the future growing even stronger and better. Our Beginnings On March 14, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. at the Jackson County Public Library an organizational meeting was held. The 15 people present were all there to discuss beginning a Genealogical Society for Jackson County. All present voted that this kind of organization would benefit both people doing genealogical research and Jackson County. It was also decided that the organization would be involved with producing a Jackson County Family History book. Helen Vance, one of the organizers of the Swain County Genealogical and Historical Society, gave a presentation of what would be required to form a Society. She was very informative of the procedures and legal requirements needed. She also agreed to be an Advisor to the Society.

The group adopted a constitution and bylaws; set the individual, family and life membership rates; heard details of the sponsorship of the Jackson County Heritage Book; and discussed publications and future activities of the organization. It was decided that membership to the Society would be open to anyone who is interested in genealogy, whether or not that person lives in Jackson County. The purpose of the organization are: 1. To bring together those people interested in genealogy, especially but not limited to Jackson County, North Carolina families; 2. To discover, research, and exchange material related to Jackson County genealogy; 3. To provide for the preservation of such material and for its accessibility, as far as may be feasible; 4. To publish this material at the frequency desired by the Society members. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2016 8 It was especially emphasized that persons who do not live in Jackson County but who have roots and family connections here are most welcome to join the group. First President’s Message July 1991 Welcome to the premier issue of “Journeys Through Jackson,” the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Inc. The name chosen for this publication is intended to reflect not only the geographical aspects of traveling through Jackson County but, also, the sense of traveling through the decades with ancestors long gone and descendants yet to come. From Sapphire to Soco, from Balsam to Bullpen, from Cowee to Cashiers, from Whiteside to Whittier, and all points in between, this newsletter will document the people and places of our Mountain Home, Jackson County. The first major project of the Society is the Publication of The Jackson County Heritage Book, with work now in progress to share and preserve the family lines of those persons who live in the county, who have ever lived in the county, who have roots in the county. Submissions of material for the Heritage Book are encouraged and solicited from members, and additional information may be obtained by writing to the Society at the address listed elsewhere in this newsletter. Material for “Journeys Through Jackson” will, until the Heritage Book is published, consist of primary source information from county records, family Bibles, cemetery and population census records, and interviews with elderly persons. Inquiries from members and non-members will be included. After the Heritage Book is completed, members and non-members may submit family data to be included in “Journeys Through Jackson.” The Society does reserve the right to accept, reject, and/or edit any submitted materials and disclaims any responsibility for errors in fact or opinion made by contributors. Membership in the Society is open to any person interested in genealogical research. The Society is incorporated, and application has been made for tax-exempt status. It is a distinct privilege to have been chosen as the founding president of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, and I pledge to you my best efforts to carry out the purposes and objectives of the group. Please let me know whenever I may be of assistance to you.

JCGS members Jim and Jean Hooper Scott of Tryon provided a generous start-up fund to originate this program. A Society committee was named and it has since met to establish the scholarship rules and parameters. Applicants must be students at Smoky Mountain High School, Blue Ridge High School and Early College, Jackson County Early College, or the Jackson County School of Alternatives. The applicant must also write an essay related to family or genealogical research. The winners will then report to the Society within one year. In the first year, two scholarships valued at $750.00 each are to be awarded. Checks will then be made to the college or university of the winners. W o u l d y o u l i k e t o c o n t r i b u t e? Make checks specifically to the Scott Foundation Scholarship Fund, and send to the Society's post office address. This gift, of course, is tax deductible.

The following article was written and submitted by JCGS member Don Casada. Its principal subject, Elizabeth Holt, is a granddaughter of JCGS member Christine Cole Proctor.] Close on the heels of dog days, on a warm September morning, a shuttle boat carried a gathering of folks across Fontana Lake. Shortly after leaving the launch area at Cable Branch, the boat passed over the streambed of what was once a fine mountain river. From way back in the mountains, hundreds of feeder streams laughed, jumped, played, and sang along their descending way. Boisterous waters showered diamond sprays of life onto the stream banks where ramps, sarvis, squirrel corn, bluets and yellow root reaped the blessings of their contagious joy. They were living, life giving waters. Trickles became branches, branches became forks, and forks became creeks. The accumulated collections fed the Oconaluftee, Tuckaseigee, Nantahala and Little Tennessee Rivers, waters eons older than the Cherokee names which predated the arrival of white men. The Tuckasegee, a man among men flowing on an east-west course, met the south-to-north flowing lady of the Little Tennessee. It was love at first sight, and the couple was married near the place that would become the little town of Bushnell. Tuck, the gentleman, defied human convention and took on the name of his bride. Although they called themselves the Little Tennessee, it was Tuck's east-west course that they followed from that point on, in deference to his better judgment. For Tuck, unlike the sweet Little T, drew much of his life blood from the Great Smoky Mountains which they would skirt along the rest of their way. Of all those who traveled these mountains, no one knew every holler like Old Tuck. Now more mature in demeanor than in their earlier rambunctious ways, the two that were now one inclined to a gentler course, as if on a front porch swing of a Sunday afternoon. But they could still kick up their heels every now and then. Like all couples, they'd occasionally have their issues, separating to the left and the right around Calhoun Island near Wayside. Differences resolved, they rejoined hands downstream, and the family continued to grow along the way. Damned by progress and dammed by the TVA, laughter and family ties along this section of the Little Tennessee have been silenced and broken for seven decades. The life-giving energy from North Carolina Counties of Jackson, Macon (Macon's part includes a charitable donation from Rabun County, Georgia), Graham and Swain is deadened by the dam, harvested by turbines, and sent by wires without payment into Tennessee. The formerly vibrant river lies buried beneath 370 feet of stagnant water and silt accumulation at the point where our boat passed over. Our destination was Hazel Creek, a place where unhindered waters still flow and echoes of laughter yet linger, unreachable by the roads of an uncivilized world. There are those who despair the lack of road access to this land, including some of our little company. A sense of betrayal by the same federal government - which took the land that many called home - underlies the despair. But were there now a road to this place, I fear that the song it sings softly in minor mountain key would be lost in the discordant strife and the noise. That has certainly been the case for Cades Cove, located just across the spine of the. Smokies, where an armada of automobiles daily assault what was once a place of perspicacious people imbued with both the spirit and ability to make do. There are reasons aplenty to go to this place and others like it. I routinely find myself seeking the refuge of walking and crawling, sometimes tumbling and sliding through these mountains, most often alone. Whisperings of advice and signs of parental affection — as well as stern admonitions - from these 11 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 mountains (which are indeed our parents) are most readily perceived by the wonderfully lonesome, if . somewhat prodigal, child. ^—^ But on this day, I was glad to be in the company of some like-minded companions. Though seeking a place, ours was not a search for solitude. We were intent on congregating, cornmitting, honoring, and remembering. Proctor The particular place on Hazel Creek to which we were headed has been known since the late 1800s as Proctor. Sometime before 1830, Moses and Patience Proctor settled here and began raising a family. Their home place was on what is now known as Shehan Branch in Possum Holler. It empties into Hazel Creek - or directly into the lake itself when it is full - almost four miles from where Hazel Creek once emptied into the Little Tennessee River. The Proctors had come over the main spine of the Smokies from Cades Cove. If it was solitude and elbow room they sought, they found it. Based on the sequence of names in the 1830 Macon County census (this area is now in Swain County, but Swain wasn't formed until 1871) and knowledge of where other families located, it was likely well over a half-dozen miles to their closest neighbors. Something just felt right about this particular place, so they carved out a home and a life for themselves and their children here. Bradshaws, Cables and others were soon to come to the area, but it remained sparsely populated for decades. In 1848, Joseph Brackett composed the Shaker Hymn, "Simple Gifts". Though penned a thousand miles away near the northeastern end of the Appalachian Mountain range, the words could well have applied to the lives of Patience, Moses, and their children in the Hazel Creek valley: v / 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, It will be in the valley of love and delight. Times and seasons pass; lives and circumstances change. The Civil War took away two of their sons, Moses, Jr. and Mansfield. Moses, Sr. died, perhaps of a broken heart, in 1864. Patience lived to see the end of the war and the return of two sons and a son-in-law, but according to family tradition described by Duane Oliver in Remembered Lives, she was never the same. She died in 1870, and is buried beside Moses on the ridge near their home. Over time, their children and their children's children drifted to and fro, ranging up the river and across the mountains back into Tennessee. Ritter Lumber Company arrived and set up a massive operation in the early 1900s, providing hundreds of jobs - for a time. But by the late 1920s, the raw materials of the entire Hazel Creek basin had been sawn, kiln dried, cut to dimension, and shipped away to become floors, furniture, books and toilet paper, so Ritter Lumber closed shop. While there were still several dozen farnilies who owned land and lived in the area, including some descendants of Moses and Patience, the vast majority of the Hazel Creek drainage was now owned by land speculators such as Jack Coburn and George Stikeleather (to whom Ritter had sold its vast holdings). Private fishing waters were established , with uninvited natives unwelcome. Physical connections to vestiges of life as it had once been were completely severed by the construction of Fontana Dam in the early 1940s. Exercising powers of what might be called pre-eminent domain with a will, TVA acquired all lands on the north shore of Fontana, removed the people and turned the land over ^ j to the Department of Interior for inclusion in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is worth 12 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 / noting here that the entire area along the north shore of the Little Tennessee had been coveted for the Park ^ ^ since the 1920's; in fact, it had been included in the original park outline, drawn in 1926. hi the course of a century, Hazel Creek witnessed the coming of the first white settlers, an era of slow increase in families on subsistence farms, followed by a period of rapid industrial and job growth, an equally rapid loss of resources - an thus industry and its jobs. By the time the 1930 census was taken, there were but two dozen individuals on the entire north shore who listed saw mill or logging as their trade, and most of these were well to the east of Hazel Creek. Just over a decade later, there was to be no more permanent human presence. And yet .... even now, there is something about this place which seems to want people around, and it
