tropable

adj

1. That can be troped or is subject to tropes.

   “But if we agree with Stevens that Tennessee nature is tropable as wilderness and with the Modern Language Association's advertisements for its 2001 convention that New Orleans' climate is "tropical," from which we might reasonably infer its nature is tropable as jungle, then Mississippi, perhaps especially north Mississippi, does constitute such a liminal space.”

   “Exploiting the visual rhetoric of the page, the spatial hiatus between the two hemistichs mimetically distances utterance from intention, and encourages readers to treat the speaking 'I' less as a confessional vessel than a reusable, tropable token, a rhetorical posture or per-sona—an assumed 'mask' to 'sound through'.”

   “Contributors who have found a candidate for a trope are encouraged to submit it to the Trope Launch Pad, and to discuss in the community whether it is “tropable” or not.”
