The Spectralities Reader is the first volume to collect the rich
scholarship produced in the wake of the "spectral turn" of the
early 1990s, which saw ghosts and haunting conjured as compelling
analytical and methodological tools across the humanities and
social sciences. Surveying the past twenty years from an
interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, the Reader
displays the wide range of concerns spectrality, in its diverse
elaborations, has been called upon to elucidate. The disjunctions
produced by globalization, the ungraspable quality of modern media,
the convolutions of subject formation (in terms of gender, race,
and sexuality), the elusiveness of spaces and places, and the
lingering presences and absences of memory and history have all
been reconceived by way of the spectral. A primer for the wide
readership engaged with cultural interpretations of ghosts and
haunting that go beyond the confines of the fictional and
supernatural, The Spectralities Reader includes twenty-five
groundbreaking texts by prominent contemporary thinkers, from
Jacques Derrida and Gayatri Spivak to Avery Gordon and Arjun
Appadurai, as well as a general introduction and six section
introductions by the editors.
