My previous research examines how nineteenth-century U.S. writers generate and modulate their ideological and stylistic approach in relation to the shifting configurations of U.S. governance and print culture. I am currently examining such links--between art, rhetoric, and politics--in contemporary media. I am particularly interested in the ways that writers, filmmakers, and other content creators frame their political perspectives as entertainment and/or art.
