Hauntology is an idea within the philosophy of history introduced by Jacques Derrida in his 1993 work Spectres of Marx. The word a combination of the word haunt and the suffix -ology and a near-homophone to ontology in Derrida’s native French deals with the paradoxical state of the spectre which is neither being nor non-being according to Lisa Gye in her project Halflives: A Mystory.
