Ghosts:

Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, History

Palgrave Macmillan, Mar 15, 1999 - Psychology - 268 pages
Ghosts exist as a means of expressing our concerns for life and death, the passing of time, and the conscious and unconscious minds. The powerful metaphor of haunting has been used as an intellectual tool by writers and thinkers such as Marx, Freud, and Derrida in the fields of politics, psychoanalysis and philosophy. Ghosts is the first collection of theoretical essays that interrogates these ghosts, employing a variety of theoretical perspectives to consider the efficacy and use of the concepts of haunting and spectrality as they appear in literature, culture, and theory.
