WHAT’S HAUNTING MICHAEL ZEV GORDON? POSTMEMORY AND THE LIMITS OF REPRESENTATION IN GORDON’S A KIND OF HAUNTING

View through CrossRef
Abstract This article explores the extent to which Michael Zev Gordon’s A Kind of Haunting is a work of postmemory, a concept defined and refined by Marianne Hirsch to describe memories inherited by the generations that follow one that has experienced great collective trauma. I complicate some of the claims around the efficacy of music as a site of postmemorial aesthetics by considering the limits of musical representation in Gordon’s work via theories of spectacle and orientalism.
