ABSTRACT
This chapter is a personal reflection from journalist and writer Bob Fischer, originator of the critical concepts of ‘The Haunted Generation’ and ‘Lost Things’. This account provides a creative/critical analysis of the effect on memory of recollections of ‘the past’. The following discussion details the haunting effect of gaps in memory, the half remembered, and the lost. In seeking out an answer as to what constitutes the ‘hauntological’, Fischer examines a range of cultural artefacts and his relationship to those artefacts and relics. As part of this discussion Fischer opens up the notion of ‘analogue memories’.
