Book Synopsis Loss and Cultural Remains in Performance by : Heather Davis-Fisch
Book excerpt: 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.
