This course explores the concept of "political fictions" in culture, literature, politics and society.
Political fictions may be loosely defined as the socio-mythology, government polices and proto-narratives invented and perpetuated in order for persons or groups to gain and maintain power.
In addition, it is also necessary to investigate the conditions that arise to both engender the political fictions and those that result from their formation in a society.
The most commonly known example of a political fiction is the racism embedded in the white supremacist Jim Crow laws of the post-Civil War southern United States.
Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.
