J. Derrida - Hauntology
Nostalgia for lost futures.
A state of grief, in relationship to history, where what is lost & what could’ve been are temporary entangled, the past ever present, & refusing to be forgotten. It is the post colonial condition of forgetting & being forgotten in the aftermath of violence, longing for a homeland That will no longer exist. What was and what could have been haunting the present.

“the body is an extension of the land remembering"
describes a key theme within the genre, particularly in works that explore postcolonial, cultural, and environmental trauma. It suggests that the body is not just a container for a person, but is a physical record of ancestral memory and the history of the land from which it comes. This connection manifests in magical ways that defy rational explanation
