This book is about some of the ways we remember the dead through
performance. It examines the dramaturgical techniques and
strategies that enable artists to respond to the imperative:
'Remember Me' - the command King Hamlet's ghost gives to his son in
Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Hamlet. The book develops the concept
of hauntological dramaturgy by engaging with a series of
performances that commemorate, celebrate, investigate, and
sometimes seek justice for the dead. It draws on three interrelated
discourses on haunting: Derrida's hauntology with its ethical
exhortation to be with ghosts and listen to ghosts; Abraham and
Torok's psychoanalytic account of the role spectres play in the
transmission of intergenerational trauma; and, finally, Mark
Fisher's and Simon Reynolds' development of Derrida's ideas within
the field of popular culture. Taken together, these writers, in
different ways, suggest strategies for reading and creating
performances concerned with questions of commemoration. Case
studies focus on a set of known and unknown figures, including Ian
Charleson, Spalding Gray and David Bowie. This study will be of
great interest to students, scholars and practitioners working
within theatre and performance studies as well as philosophy and
cultural studies.
