In Class with Carr, Ep. 280: “There Ain’t No Such Thing as Superman!”

Описание: The Cultural Meaning Making trope of Superman, especially as a trope used in US white nationalism, serves as a point of entry to consider power, collective identity and belief in the US Social Structure. In a moment in US and global history especially fraught with mass and social media manipulation, how can we leverage the momentum of memory to empower alternative visions of self-determination?

Critical white nationalist reaction to the latest “Superman” movie reminds us of the US’s persistent need  for savior figures, often racialized to uphold white nationalist ideologies.
