Summary "This cross-disciplinary study deploys the concept of "spectral realism," devised by the author, to think about the ethical implications of the representation of violence in various art mediums (literature, film, and visual arts). Spectral realism, a way of dealing with the unsayable or unpresentable, allows cultural practitioners to think about history and memories of extreme violence and understand the ethical anxieties surrounding how to depict or re-create these events"-- Provided by publisher
