Spectral Criticism, hauntology, Derrida, Spanish cinema, Latin American cinemaAbstract
This paper aims to analyze how the critics have approached Spanish and Latin American cinema through the prism of Spectral Criticism. In doing so, this project will study Jacques Derrida's concept of hauntology, as well as its emergence and its implications in his book Spectres of Marx. Considering the notions of time, space, and history proposed by hauntology, we will take into account several authors who have incorporated these concepts in their film analyses. In addition, we will reflect on the possibility of interpreting some recent feature films from the approach of Spectral Critism
