From hauntology + -ist.
Meanings
-
(uncommon) A theorist of hauntology.
Hauntologists suggest that the contemporary culture is more generally shaped by an unsettling temporal dislocation, a tendency to loop back to troubled, unresolved past events, and to experience recurring dreams of futures-lost. Time, as hauntologists have it, ‘is out of joint’.
