Abstract Details

2017, Artium Baccalaureus (AB), Ohio University, English.
My senior thesis is a new edition to the literature and art of the great American roadtrip. My travelogue, which can be found at “floatingonamule.org,” takes the form of an interactive online map of my travels around the United States in the summer and fall of 2015. The map displays my route, marked by clickable waypoints that direct the viewer to different nonfiction stories. The stories themselves are told in a number of forms. The travelogue utilizes audio content, photographs, graphic nonfiction, and plain text. The end result is a collection of stories that function as a collage of encounters rather than a singular, cohesive, chronological narrative, though the user of the website, floatingonamule.org [FoaM], has the option to proceed chronologically if they desire to do so.
