Описание: Coined by Derrida for his 1991 book Spectres of Marx (1991), hauntology is the ontology of the spectral, the science of what returns. For Derrida, the twentieth century was the most haunted in history - the century in which we knew more about the past than at any other point in history, and in which we lived with the past on a daily basis , through our use and understandings of history and more tangibly through celluloid and audio recordings. In the last five years hauntology has moved beyond the parameters of political philosophy and has become increasingly influential in literary and cultural studies. This book examines hauntology not just as ontology, but a critical practice. It looks at how hauntology can collapse the innate paradox of being and non-being, providing a way of understanding the spectral nature of the past and its haunting of the present. Opening with an overview of Derrida's work and later critical debates on hauntology, Katy Shaw goes on to apply hauntology as a critical approach to contemporary literature and culture, illustrating her arguments with close readings of apposite texts, and including literature, film, music and architecture in her analysis. This is the first book explicity written for course use providing a critical introduction to hauntology as critical practice.

Описание: This Pivot explores a range of contemporary English literatures - from the poetry of Simon Armitage and the drama of Jez Butterworth, to the fiction of Zadie Smith and the stories of David Peace - that collectively unite to represent a twenty-first century world full of specters, reminiscence and representations of spectral encounters.
