Ruins have gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the face of widespread precarity and ongoing crises. This book delves into a unique type of space that poses a significant challenge to consumer society: the retail ruin. Jacob C. Miller employs human geography, archaeology, and critical urban studies to provide a foundation for conceptualizing retail ruins. Miller's approach is informed by the theories of Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, as well as more recent thinking on assemblage, spectacle, and the politics of urban space. He draws on fieldnotes and photographs to create a hauntological perspective that sheds light on the complex and troubling nature of retail ruins.
