- Annotation
- Discusses two types of Hemingway memes as teaching tools for engaging students. Curnutt outlines his approach of analyzing inspirational quotation memes (typically decontextualized) in light of modernist tenets and practices, including the use of omission and reliance on maxims. Concludes with a look at humorous memes targeting Hemingway s macho public persona so at odds with the emotion expressed in his writings, thus humanizing the author and opening student response to his texts.
