Unsettling Economies: Exceptionalism, Precarity, and the Frontier Myth in Neoliberal American Literature explores the imbrication of an American exceptionalist ethos and American neoliberalism. Building on the fields of transnational American studies, poststructuralist and postcolonial theory, and neoliberal criticism, this my project locates itself at the intersection between studies of the frontier myth and American neoliberal discourse. Utilizing the work of transnational American scholars in dispelling the "myth of the frontier," this project deploys these critiques against American neoliberalism to disclose its discursive form and underlying rationalities. Drawing from both neoliberal critics (such as Wendy Brown, David Harvey, and Philip Mirowski) and American studies scholars (such as Donald Pease, Richard Slotkin, and William Spanos), this project renders legible, and by doing so offer new trajectories of critique, the return of the ideological coherence and performative space of "the frontier" through American neoliberalism: arguing that the neoliberal "free market" operates as a re-coded Turnerian "frontier" in the American national imaginary, serves as supplemental space for the performance and demonstration of American identity, and provide a perpetual space for American "regeneration" through violence and dispossession.{A0}While the earlier portions of project focus on establishing the overlap and imbrication of the myth of the frontier and American neoliberal discourse, each relying upon an American exceptionalist ethos to offshore and outsource critique, the latter portion of the project focuses on re-reading a series of American novels written after the 1980s set on varies frontier to critique, make legible, and imagine impossible communities of resistance to American neoliberal hegemony.
