As a reflection of the zeitgeist, hauntology is, above all, the product of a time which is seriously “out of joint” (Hamlet is one of Derrida’s crucial points of reference in Spectres of Marx). There is a prevailing sense among hauntologists that culture has lost its momentum and that we are all stuck at the “end of history”. Meanwhile, new technologies are dislocating more traditional notions of time and place. Smartphones, for instance, encourage us never to fully commit to the here and now, fostering a ghostly presence-absence. Internet time (which is increasingly replacing clock time) results in a kind of “non-time” that goes hand in hand with Marc Augé’s non-places. Perhaps even more crucially, the web has brought about a “crisis of overavailability” that, in effect, signifies the “loss of loss itself”: nothing dies any more, everything “comes back on YouTube or as a box set retrospective” like the looping, repetitive time of trauma (Fisher).

A tithe of skin,
a toll of bone,
a bloody libel burning
In Jericho and Babylon,
eternally returning

From the Heavy Tweed Jacket archives: Men’s club #235: 1981 East coat…Heavy Tweed Jacket is one of my favorite blogs ever. I love being able to get a glimpse of past. A past on which most of today’s looks are based on. Just check out the pics: loafers, wallabess, ocbd’s, shetland, blucher mocs, down vests, rugbys, parkas, and tweed are all present.
