ABSTRACT
This chapter has less to do with local forms of historicization than it does with exploring the logical implications of what happens when the people cannot mediate or convey a historical moment with any certainty, but rather, where its very slipperiness or absence tells the reader something about the modes of representation, calling forth novel ways to understand these gaps. It explores the idea of “dark media” through three different vignettes, which in succession become more and more absurd in their manifestations. Movement has actually been a primary drive both for myself as an analyst and for interlocutors, who find that they need to incite the spirit world into manifestation through technological and electronic means, means that are not determinate or fixed, but rather pliable to the circumstances at hand.
