Buchanan Title: ROTTEN SYMBOL MONGERING: SCAPEGOATING IN POST-9/11 AMERICAN WAR LITERATURE Advisor: Dr. Billy J. Stratton Degree Date: August 2015 Abstract A rhetorical approach to the fiction of war offers an appropriate vehicle by which one may encounter and interrogate such literature and the cultural metanarratives that exist therein. My project is a critical analysis—one that relies heavily upon Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic method and his concepts of scapegoating, the comic corrective, and hierarchical psychosis—of three war novels published in 2012 (The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers, FOBBIT by David Abrams, and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain).
