2.7. Position Available: Salzburg Global Seminar – Program Director, American Studies Program, Location: Salzburg, AT or Washington, DC
In their seminal work Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life, Karen and Barbara Fields argue that “race” is a pseudo-scientific system for explaining invisible forces. For the Fieldses,
“race” is inexorably speculative; it is a way of using imaginary science to construct or “craft” the extra-empirical reality of “racial” difference. This special issue of Humanities (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/humanities)
seeks to explore the intersections between the Fieldses’ concept of racecraft—the ensemble of beliefs and practices that make and remake the social reality of “race”—and the various forms of crafting, pretending, playing, fabulating, extrapolating, cognitively
estranging, and world-building in speculative culture. 3.3. Conference Announcement: Human Dignity and Human Right: The Legacy of the Black Civil Rights Movement in the Transatlantic World, Conference in Cooperation with the Universities
