2. The Spectralities Reader
Ghosts and Haunting in Contemporary Cultural Theory
An anthology of foundational and contemporary writings that treat ghosts and haunting as critical lenses for analyzing culture, politics, and history. Drawing from philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary and media studies, and sociology, it explores concepts like hauntology, the uncanny, melancholia, and memory to show how unresolved violence, colonialism, and capitalism persist in the present. Collectively, the selections offer a toolkit for tracing spectral presences across texts and spaces, revealing how what is absent or suppressed continues to shape experience and critique.
