6:00 Conversation: Hauntology: An Interdisciplinary Intro
David Brazil will discuss “hauntings” in literary texts as figures by which we might think through the question of our own responsibilities to the dead. Stanford University professor of English Terry Castle will consider collecting, and the psychic and intellectual urges that lie behind it, in the light of hauntology. Artist and web designer Josh On will address some of the specters of socialism haunting American politics and culture today. Then, artist and musician Scott Hewicker, co-curator of the exhibition, will introduce the program in conjunction with L@TE.
