ordinary human beings are a church where there is indeed a church. Depending on how they look, their discipline-specialized people highlights some elements: the architect, priest and engineer are the same thing with some exclusivity: each identifies a powerful presence beating their own particular topic or motif, his ghost. I speak here, of course, ideal types whose occupation does not exclude others.
However, the historian overlaps those ghosts. Where there is indeed a church, surely will see the old church and demolished, and in the same place occupied by the demolished church ghostly may see an old house whose foundations are barely registers, and if it goes beyond, perhaps know of a cemetery primitive without believing, of course, that the cemetery is all that actually exist and that, therefore, is a phantasmagoria but a phantom location (in this crude sense of the spiritualists, who, of course, is the reverse of phantasmagoria.) Thus, in the monumental and massive cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, you know the ghostly presence of the ancient Basilica of Saint-Etienne, check demolished in 1116 by the Bishop of Paris, and before it, the temple dedicated to Jupiter and even the altar of the Roman temple Celtic crushed. All these places are eerily superimposed on the historian's mind in the mind of the medium by which channeled knows best anthology of human experiences.
If the physical space excludes common sense by absurd objects simultaneously occupying the same space, the historian's mind, however, makes this simultaneity of objects in the same space, the object par excellence. Rather, its purpose, it always looks this simultaneity, the ghostly superposition. A mind like that of Victor Hugo, whose novel "Notre Dame de Paris is also the history of that city, he says of the cathedral:" the whitening Pastors, architects bite the stones and then there's the populace and destroys. " That is their fast motion. And then, on the Greek word found inscribed on a wall of the cathedral: "Man he recorded that word on that wall centuries ago has vanished and the word has been erased from the wall of the church as the church itself may soon disappear from the face of the earth. " That is their superposition. Victor Hugo, much later in the chapter on the bells, said: "The old church, all full of vibrations and sounds, was a continuous joy bells. It constantly felt the presence of a sound and whimsical spirit that sang through all those mouths of copper. " The Hunchback of love. That organ music and bells inside out, is lit by the imagination of Hugo. Your mind makes literary history possible vividly illustrated so well by that date. Superimposed buildings, the sounds, the characters in the past, the past is powerfully felt. No need to invoke a crude and garrulous, the realism of the afterlife. This is the ghostly overlay, the overlay of what's gone on this side, only in the here and there forever.
However, there is a pictorial simultaneity. This is not a hologram so content in another hologram, which can be all at once with the same clarity and intensity, as if unable to distinguish which goes to which. It is a superposition simultaneously in which each new object is semi-transparent overlay, and therefore, the simultaneous superposition of all results in the most recently stacked more visible, its details are more noticeable, but-and here we are still point- more transparent, and for that reason more new and subtle as an ocean no water, but methane. The semi-transparent objects overlapping sets at the farthest. That darkness, the lack of light, this lack of transparency obscures the passage of light is so ghostly presence as the most transparent.
In Discontents Freud culture describes the psychic life of overlapping objects and spaces, as opposed to physical life where that overlap is not possible, where objects limit each other in the same time. Indeed, recourse to Mary above Minerva, the church erected on the temple of Minerva in Rome, and whose name is already present such overlap. So, say here, the mind is an amazing historical possession of the psyche by something external to mind: all that wants to be remembered, organized, hierarchical, overlapping, by someone other than God. Finite someone belonging to this side, the world of those things that the ordinary mind receives no overlapping.
Since I read Huizinga and Burckhardt saw the great ability of these historians, capability overlay consisting of all life / European human deaths on which rested the sight, touch and hearing, as Schrödinger cat quantum physics, the subject of psychological experimentation, despite protests from animal protection. The cat is both dead and alive as he thinks about his hypothesis. Outside the hypothesis is alive or dead, but not overlapping.
ghost story as an overlay is the discipline of many things from a very minimal psychic assault in the eyes of everyday time.
