Promotional Information

"In Ghostly Landscapes, Patricia M. Keller offers a novel theorization of haunting as an aesthetic register inextricably tied to the visual and to landscape. Keller is thoroughly familiar with relevant scholarship on film, photography, haunting, representations of landscape, memory studies, and contemporary Spanish history and culture, and her mastery of critical theory is dazzling." -- Justin Crumbaugh, Department of Spanish, Latina/o, and Latin American Studies, Mount Holyoke College "Ghostly Landscapes constitutes a valuable addition to the growing corpus of Spanish visual studies that has made possible the task of revising contemporary Spanish history. The documentaries, films, and photographs within portray the realities confronted by the Spanish people during the Francoist regime, while also offering a unique insight into the transition to democracy." -- Raul A. Marrero-Fente, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies, University of Minnesota
