We will consider how narratives of the past are produced?from the selection of facts, their assemblage into archives, and the creation of historical stories from the archives, as well as in the living and recorded memories. We will examine historical narratives about racial violence in the United States?including slavery, lynching, imprisonment, and warfare?and consider how archives and historical narratives enact obscure resistant, alternative, or subjugated knowledges about these violent pasts. Further, we will examine contemporary engagements with such pasts that attempt to re-read these histories in the hopes of disrupting dominant narratives about Western modernity and U.S. nationhood to imagine alternative futures. Meets with AAS 390 CRN, 51335, Section NPU and LLS 396, CRN 64012, section NPU.
