Spectral Spaces and Hauntings

Herausgeber: Lee, Christina

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the spectral qualities of space, using the language of hauntings, to understand how absence, emptiness and the imperceptible can indicate an overwhelming presence of something (that once was, and still is) there. Contributors navigate affective spaces that have the potential to threaten, destabilise and sometimes even comfort; ranging from former sites of violence and ruin to the nostalgic home, from haunting impressions in literature to spectral presences in architecture and photography.
