In the context of widespread precarity and ongoing crises, it is no
surprise ruins have captured much attention in recent years. This
book is about a new kind of space, one that is deeply troubling for
consumer society: the retail ruin. Jacob C. Miller bridges human
geography, archaeology and critical urban studies to offer a
starting point for conceptualizing retail ruins. Drawing on
fieldnotes and photographs, Miller crafts a hauntological approach
informed by the theories of Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida to
more recent thinking on assemblage, spectacle and the politics of
urban space.
