Taking my cue from molly mcgarry, freccero and halberstam, who discussed
the queer potentiality of spectrality,
She honors pleasure positivity of queer theory contrary to
heteronormativity
Queer historiography that would devote itself to a critical re-valorization of
the places and possibilities of pleasure within the serious and ascetic work
of history
The past is in the present in the form of a haunting. The past is never
dead. Its not even past.
Queer history involves openness to the possibility of being haunted,
even inhabited, by ghosts
She wants to rework the teleological narratives of reproductive
futurity that locate in a culminating endpoint the truth of the past
Haunting a mode of precarious life as an alternative model for
how queer history might proceed
Possibility of spectrality for queer historiography, why it might
describe a more ethical relation to the past than our current
historicisms permit

How it might counter the symptomatic fantasy of reproductive

futurity without necessarily adopting its binaristic representation
of death as the only (compulsory) alternative 195
Spectrality counters the teological drive of heteroreproductive futurity on
the level of form and proposes an alternative mode of non-linear
temporality that queries the melancholic attachments of some
counternarratives of queer, on the other hand, and the illusion of a choice
between life and death on the other 195
Her work on spectrality and queerness
Jacques derrida specters of marx, avery Gordon ghostly matters, wendy
brown politics out of history propose a theory of spectrality and haunting
as a kind of model for a historical attentiveness that the living might have to
what is not present but somehow appears as a figure, a voice, or a specter, a
kind of materialization, as a being that is no longer or not year present
THIS STRAND OF THEORY IS ABOUT QUEER TEMPORALITY (you
are talking about accepting of the animal and the deathly through a
social encounter)
To speak of ghosts is to speak of the social!!! Spectrality invokes
collectivity
Ghosts allows us to mourn
Remain open to the ghostly returns 197
in her Ghosts of futures past (2008) opened up the floor for the research
into queerness embedded in ghost hauntings and spiritualist mediumship,
