Loss and Cultural Remains in Performance

The Ghosts of the Franklin Expedition
Langbeschreibung
In 1845, John Franklin's Northwest Passage expedition disappeared. The expedition left an archive of performative remains that entice one to consider the tension between material remains and memory and reflect on how substitution and surrogation work alongside mourning and melancholia as responses to loss.
