"as long as it is somehow recontextualized, revitalized"
Funnily enough I was talking about hauntology and vitalism just the other day:

It might be interesting - I won't say *more* interesting - to consider
a practice of contextualising things in such a way as to completely
drain them of vitality, divest them of aura, treat them as artifacts
of a culture that was totally alien and totally extinct, as indeed the
contextualising culture will also one day be. Maybe start with the
60s. See how close you can get to the present day...
