Haunting has long been a compelling element in popular culture,
and has become an influential category in academic engagements with
politics, economics, and aesthetics. While recent scholarship has
used psychoanalysis and the Gothic as frameworks with which to
study haunting, this volume seeks to situate ghosts in the cultural
imagination. The chapters in Popular Ghosts are united by the
impulse to theorize the cultural work that ghosts do within the
trans-historical contexts that comprise our understanding of
everyday life. These authors study the theoretical and aesthetic
genealogies of the spectral, while also commenting on the multiple
everyday spaces that this category occupies. Rather than looking to
a single tradition or medium, the essays in PopularGhosts explore
film, novels, photography, television, music, social practices, and
political structures from different cultures to reopen the
questions that surround our haunted sense of the everyday.
