SUMMARY:Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick (1851): Fascism\, Totalitarianism\, N
 ow
DESCRIPTION:In 1941\, amid the rise of fascism\, F. O. Matthiessen read Mob
 y-Dick as a struggle between a demagogic leader who represses otherness an
 d seeks total destruction\, and a narrator who defends to democratic openn
 ess\, plurality\, and survival. By the 1990s\, critics understood the nove
 l as addressing totalitarian threats to democracy from within. \nIn 2026\,
  how does Melville’s text speak to readers confronting the mainstreaming
  of extreme rhetoric – and repressive measures against immigrants\, wome
 n\, and LGBTQ+ communities? What does Captain Ahab reveal about insecure m
 asculinity\, the fetishization of militarized power\, and the desire for v
 isibility? \nJoin a group of students from different backgrounds to discus
 s selected passages.
