Surveying the past twenty years from an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, the \u003ci\u003eReader \u003c\/i\u003edisplays the wide range of concerns spectrality, in its diverse elaborations, has been called upon to elucidate. The disjunctions produced by globalization, the ungraspable quality of modern media, the convolutions of subject formation (in terms of gender, race, and sexuality), the elusiveness of spaces and places, and the lingering presences and absences of memory and history have all been reconceived by way of the spectral.
