    Rather than focus intently on the text and its infrastructure, academics treat literature as an ossuary for theoretical machinations and thus relegate art to serve as a vehicle for erudite discourse. This thesis hopes to offer a counter by underscoring the ways in which texts subvert extra-textual applications. In disavowing...

    Barbour, Nancy Staton
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion.
