基本説明
'Colin Davis' Haunted Subjects is a remarkable achievement. Significant in this project is Davis' recognition of the close, if fraught, relationship between the text of Derrida and particular strands in psychoanalytic thought. He thus brings to light in this fascinating work a form of haunting repression that is at the heart of much recent critical practice, giving it the most sustained analysis yet.' - Professor Julian Wolfreys, Department of English, University of Florida, USA.
Full Description
Why do the dead return? Do they remain part of the world of the living? This book examines these questions as they emerge in areas as diverse as film, Holocaust testimony, and the works of Jacques Derrida, Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok. The book suggests it may be as difficult for the living to get rid of the dead as it is to live without them.
