| Sumario: | Long description: Over the last decades, studies on cultural memory have taken a 'spectral turn'. They have explored the potential of haunting metaphors for addressing past instances of violence that affect present cultural realities. Zuzanna Dziuban contributes to the discussions on the figure of the ghost by enquiring into its culturally and historically located modality: the emergence of Jewish ghosts in contemporary Polish popular culture, literature and critical art. Locating this new interest in Jewish ghosts on the map of other Polish (and Jewish) ghostologies, this study seeks to explore the cultural and political functions of post-Holocaust haunted imaginaire. Biographical note: Zuzanna Dziuban (PhD) is a research fellow at the University of Konstanz and the University of Amsterdam. Her research focus is on memory studies, dead body studies, and the afterlives of the Holocaust. |
