SUMMARY:Comparative Literature Luncheon: Jack W. Chen
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat is a ghost? This talk will consider the history of th
e ghost in comparative perspective\, and then take the particular case o
f the ghost as an emergent phenomenon in early medieval Chinese writings
to illustrate how the ghost both represented a challenge to epistemolog
ical systems and yet was captured within epistemological systems. I will
discuss three early examples of haunting that collectively demonstrate
how the figure of the ghost called—and continues to call—into question t
he stable ontology of the human\, and then turn to a final example that
foregrounds the mediality of the ghost\, and therefore\, of the human.\n
