PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMA, AND THE GHOSTLY

Abstract

The edition brings texts of a markedly heterogeneous nature, with the aim of dealing with a whole set of aporias that place cinema and photography in relation to the ideas of specter and ghost. With approaches sometimes more historical and sometimes more analytical, and focusing on a diverse network of objects — photographic, cinematographic, and others — the essays gathered here aim to substantially contribute to the ongoing discussion about the reflexive power of the ghost. within the scope of thinking about the (audio)visual arts and the media.
