Ghostly and the Ghosted in Literature and Film - Spectral Identities

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Lisa B. Kröger and Melanie Anderson Klappentext The Ghostly and the Ghosted in Literature and Film: Spectral Identities reads a variety of texts, from the Gothic novels of late eighteenth-century England to modern Asian horror films, arguing that, as different as these stories are, the theme beneath the hauntings is the same. The essays in this collection all develop the concept of social ghosting and explore what it means to be ghostly while alive, marginalized at the edges of community and society.
