In this participatory, discussion-based, interdisciplinary six-week workshop led by Mohammad Shawky Hassan, we will examine the history and applications of “fabulation” as a critical, political, and aesthetic practice, tracing its development from its early use in literary theory to its adaptations by Black scholars, feminist writers, and queer artists as a methodology that emerges precisely where archives are broken, traces are erased, dissident voices are structurally excluded, and futures are foreclosed.
