In this bold and highly original work, David Ratmoko offers an
analysis of haunting in the history of European literature, law,
and politics, in the wake of Derrida's notion of 'spectrality'.
Interested in figures of redemption from guilt, he traces the rise
of canonical literature through the history of an encryption or
transcoding that has produced such fantastic compromises as Exodus,
Greek tragedy, Dante's Comedia, and Shakespeare's Hamlet as well as
the conversion into capitalism. Addressing the issue of ghosts
through our modern crisis of legitimacy, as raised by Benjamin,
Schmitt, and Kafka, Ratmoko explores Freud's idea of traumatic
fantasy in its capacity of driving the progress of spirituality or
spectrality in the Judeo-Christian world.
