Spectral Spaces and Hauntings (eBook, PDF)

The Affects of Absence
Redaktion: Lee, Christina

• Format: PDF

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.

Rezensionen

"How might contact with geographies of absence shift our taken-for-granted understandings of space and time? In this timely intervention, a range of scholars and artists explore how the memories, experiences and material environments of particular places have the power to haunt the social imaginary and our individual psyches. By reanimating the realities of abandoned places, ruins and the disappeared, the authors of Spectral Spaces and Hauntings call us to attend to the 'work that needs to be done to prevent future injustices'." -- Karen E. Till, Maynooth University, Ireland

"A timely and important collection of incisive and insightful essays which address some of the most urgent and important issues which concern scholars working in memory studies, and humanities more generally." -- Anindya Raychaudhuri, University of St Andrews, UK
