The history of film is now haunted. As the films of the first century
disappear, we are left with celluloid ghosts.
HAUNTOLOGY: 20 YEARS ON
Wednesday 17 April, 10am 5pm, National Media Museum
The spectres of Marx. Why this plural? Would there be more than one

of them?" (Jacques Derrida)


'Hauntology: 20 Years On' is a one-day symposium organised to mark 20

years since the publication of Jacques Derrida's 'Spectres of
Marx'.

Hauntology defies easy description but embodies
the idea of the 'past 
inside the present' and the border
between nostalgia and the enigmatic 
remoteness of real or
constructed pasts.
This event is part of the 19th Bradford International Film Festival
http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/BradfordInternationalFilmFestival.aspx
The keynote speaker will be cultural theorist Mark Fisher, editor of

the 'Capitalist Realism', the K-Punk blog and author of 'Ghosts
of My 
Life' a forthcoming book on hauntology.


Papers include:
The Haunted Remake: Film of the Same Name
The Hallucinatory real of the photograph after the post-continental turn
Maintaining the Spectres: the Radical Possibilities of Electronic
Voice Phenomena Recordings
Hauntology and the Archive
The symposium will be 
accompanied by screenings of
'hauntological' films including:
