“Ghosts are a problem for historicism precisely because they disrupt our sense of linear teleology in which the consecutive movement of history passes untroubled through the generations” (14). They continue by pointing out that ghosts signal “the appearance of something in a time in which they clearly do not belong” (14). Humans like to think of time moving in a straight, ordered line with a clear distinction between past, present, and future…the ghost disrupts this desire for a well-ordered sense of time because it refuses to go away and stay in its proper time and place. In this way, ghosts respond to our own existential anxieties about time and death, our inability to control or fully understand either, and our nagging sense that categories like past, present, and future are not easily distinguishable from one another.

happy new semester!!
i am still working at a local art museum and special collections library so my schedule isn't changing that much, but the run up to the official start day (today) has been a little weird (bad sleep schedule, too many social engagements) so today i'm gonna do a little work and sort out my schedule before throwing it all into disarray again by going to a conference later this week. i have few hanging to-dos from mid january but it shouldn't be too difficult to sort them out. it's cold and gray here and i think there's more snow incoming...
