Transfigurations Of The News: True Fictions, Strange Thresholds, Jeffrey Peer
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation compares twentieth-century literary journalism from the U.S. and Mexico, with a focus on the nonfiction novel and the Mexican chronicle. The dissertation considers the two genres both historically and theoretically, in order to distinguish the borders between literature and unscrupulous journalism. North American journalism is at the heart of a crisis over the epistemological status of facts and their place in our political discourse.
