The turn of the millennium has heralded an outgrowth of culture
that demonstrates an awareness of the ephemeral nature of history
and the complexity underpinning the relationship between location
and the past. This has been especially apparent in the shifting
relationship between landscape, memory and sound in film,
television and other media. The result is growing interest in
soundtracks, as part of audiovisual culture, as well as an interest
in the spectral aspects of culture more generally. This collection
of essays focuses on audiovisual forms that foreground landscape,
sound and memory. The scope of inquiry emphasises the ghostly
qualities of a certain body of soundtracks, extending beyond merely
the idea of 'scary films' or 'haunted houses.' Rather, the notion
of sonic haunting is tied to ideas of trauma, anxiety or nostalgia
associated with spatial and temporal dislocation in contemporary
society. Touchstones for the approach are the concepts of
psychogeography and hauntology, pervasive and established critical
strategies that are interrogated and refined in relation to the
reification of the spectral within the soundtracks under
consideration here.
