Description
Summary:Imagined Communities Before the End of the World: The Liberation of Marginalized Beings, a fictocriticism narrative piece, depicts a futuristic encounter with the last great swan in the world. The imagery and description of this swan, navigating a hostile habitat, as it tries to reach the ocean, invokes the loss of land, homes, and a space to be and breathe for marginalized groups and individuals. This is one of a series of critical creative pieces, where I intersect the narratives of endangered species effected by climate change and topics of social justice and eco-criticism oppressing the lives of disenfranchised communities.
