Nota di contenuto

The phantom project returning: the passing (on) of the still incomplete project of modernity -- Spectral circumventions (of the specter): poststructuralism, Derrida and the project renewed -- Writing of the ghost (again): the failure of postmodern  metafiction and the narrative of renewalism.

Sommario/riassunto

Examines the increasingly prevalent assumption that postmodernism is over and that literature and film are once again engaging sincerely with issues of ethics and politics.
