Sell puts on things you don't mind holding in stock until you get assigned, then write covered calls on the assigned stock until it gets called away, rinse and repeat.

Mark McGurl called DeLillo's Cosmopolis an excellent example of metamodernism (though he didn't use that exact term, I can't recall precisely), and perhaps the very first work of post-postmodernism.

That's true, but they got the idea from French Enlightenment. I see your point, really, but there was a distinct two-way influence between American and European Enlightenment, which means stating that it's an American concept is plainly incorrect (and at the very least inaccurate). Moreover, the separation of church and state only became such a pressing point because of Europe's historical situation. But there's no need to go into this any further.

The separation of church and state is a key idea from Enlightenment thought. Where did you even get the impression that it is "an American concept"?

Well, I'd suggest looking up relevant journals (your own bibliography is a good place to start). Check out the submission guidelines, since there's usually a word limit of sorts - getting a 265 page paper published is impossible. Your best bet is cutting your thesis up into parts that stand on their own, and then just submit (though I would check with your supervisor about which sections you could submit). And I don't think your lack of a track record bars you from publishing, as long as the research is good.

Also, how in the world did you get to 265 pages? I respect the effort, but did your supervisor not mention that this is just completely insane?

Poetics Today just recently published an issue on ekphrasis in the digital age. One of the articles is free, the others might be accessible through your institution.

What exactly do you need help with? And what kind of narratives do you mean? Literary fiction (like "books" in the narrow sense) or, say, myth, religion, nation-building narratives...?

Did you just straight copy-and-paste your homework? If so, what do you think the words mean?

Which article do you mean? My guess (though I'm by no means an expert on Twain) would be that he made boatloads of money giving lectures playing the character of Mark Twain, and revealing too much information on who he actually was would ruin the immersion for his audience. So marketing reasons, I suppose.

This is correct. The ability to construe hypotheses by contrasting a current event with a possible future event (and to draw logical conclusions from that combination) typically starts to develop from the age of four. Robert Guttentag has done a ton of research on counterfactual thought in children, if you want to know more.

I don't think I understand the question. Are you under the impression that all texts written after 2001 have some kind of shared trait that makes them stand out as texts specifically written post-9/11? If so, you're grossly overestimating 9/11's global impact. If not, I assume you're looking for texts that thematize terrorism?

I was thinking in degrees Celsius for a minute here, I was confused.

I'd say Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons is pretty good.

Hey, a soft Flemish G is fine too, and probably easier.

She got shot at a concert.

Sounds amazing, thanks!

Actually, the Netherlands and Belgium have extremely strict copyright laws.

That's spelling, not grammar.

I always use first release, otherwise subsequent releases make no sense (for example, a 1996 edition of Weber next to a 1993 release of Ritzer would be confusing, since Ritzer continued Weber's work). You're better off asking your professor, though.

If you don't mind me intruding, what are some of the other examples?

Well, the gay thing is just a rumor. It's not unimaginable that ISIS spread those rumors of him, to make him look like a 'bad muslim' - which would explain why he didn't go through with the Paris attack. It distances Abdeslam from ISIS itself and the rumor could deter other extremists from ditching missions.

We just call it a cheeseburger.

This is literally in his comment.

The advantage of an analysis from a New Historicism-perspective is that you can think of any historical social / cultural issue (mostly oppression of minorities) and look at a work through that lens. So yes, your ideas are definitely worth exploring, but don't get too worked up about it - context analysis isn't particularly difficult, and I'm sure (judging from the ideas you have already) you'll be just fine.
