2024
Overview
In Locke's text, he argues that the divine right of sovereignty and dominion was not granted just to the king, but to all descendants of Adam, which includes all those human beings of the same species and rank, which one can read specifically as race: Yet, alongside this declaration-one that would be an inspiration for the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America-was the looming presence of the trans-Atlantic Human Trade (in which Locke was a pivotal figure and a principal investor) and the irony inherent in the Declaration itself: a document which critiqued the king of England for usurping the rights of those colonialists-the right, they claimed, to the labor and the profits of the enslaved persons working the lands. Science fiction emerges to engage this world, if only obliquely-that is, analyzing and critiquing the world by escaping the world, using metaphor, irony, and satire to create an objective distance to think through the relationship between the subject/citizen and the changing world, to deal with the growing paradoxes of freedom and work, and the shifting social realities of the collapsing of the monarchies and the rise of liberal democracy. Jim can thank his race for both his social death and his new lease on life.
