title = "Hauntology",
abstract = "The term hauntology was first coined by Derrida, combining the words ontology and haunting to suggest that the living present is not as solid and autonomous as we tend to think. Derrida uses the figure of the ghost to introduce a nonlinear account of history and to explore the endurance of Marxism despite the supposed triumph of capitalist liberal democracy. This entry explains how hauntology can be a way to investigate the historical layers of organisations and how past values, habits, and forms of knowledge continue to linger. An interest in hauntology opens questions about how, when, and why something came to be placed outside the boundaries of what is seen as sensible, intelligible, or understandable. In this sense, hauntology can resonate strongly with CMS sensibilities.",
