Very much looking forward to our first workshop of the new Haunting Issues AHRC research network next week! Follow our new Twitter account for more on children, spectrality and culture! 👻
Haunting Issues: Children, Spectrality and Culture @ahrcpress Research Network is live! Exploring the child at the boundary of life and death in literature & culture, relationships between nationality and spectral children, and between care-giving and the missing child.
We very much look forward to working with our national and international collaborators, and non-academic partners to produce new models for thinking the figure of the spectral child in contemporary culture.
Pryce focuses particularly on ice and the spectrality effect / spectral metaphor to think about the ghostly return of childhood. The liminality and ephemerality of ice, like the spectre - neither nor, and which echoes the ghosts of our childhood past
