Resumen

• This volume consists of three sections, which aim to cover the different applications of the ‘trace’ to various authors and texts, crossing temporal and cultural boundaries, as it ranges from turn-of-the-century ghost stories to twenty-first century fictional texts, thus illustrating the usefulness of the notion of the ‘trace’ in multiple contexts and time periods: ‘Modern Traces’, ‘Contemporary Traces’ and ‘Traces of the Other’. The first part comprises four chapters in which modern authors are discussed through the lens of the ‘trace’, and its links with the in-between figure of the ghost, the spectre, and the absent presence of memory and trauma. In the second section, entitled ‘Contemporary Traces’, the ‘trace’ appears as a repository of memory since through traces as material remnants, it is possible to reconstruct the past. Trauma, illness and memory feature prominently in this part. Re-membering is also at stake because traces are further discussed as somatic marks and wounds from the point of view of disability studies. The last section, ‘Traces of the Other’, is devoted to the ‘trace’ and identity and cultures of the ‘other’ through the conceptualisations of the ‘trace’ provided by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricoeur.
