Urban legends are folk narratives set in contemporary time and space that reflect the hopes, dreams, fears, and anxieties of the communities and cultures through which they circulate. They are frightening, grotesque, and embarrassing; they can also be inspiring, shocking, and hilarious, ranging from tales of gang initiations, fried rodents, and ghostly hitchhikers to warnings of murderous maniacs, shadowy government agencies, and conspiracies against specific segments of the population. More than simply reflect these community values, urban legends often create spaces for discourse and the negotiation of social, cultural, and historical difference among diverse groups of people living in modern pluralistic societies like the United States. Through an exposure to and examination of a wide variety of contemporary legends, students will gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which urban legends function to unify, divide, and ultimately negotiate the various and different communities in the United States in terms of history, location, heritage, gender, race, class, and religion.
