This article offers a hauntology of Bentham’s panopticon, reviewing its failure to create a perfect visibility and thereby creating ghosts. The visuality of ghosts is examined in a Jewish genealogy from Freud and Proust to Walter Benjamin and Anne Frank. The article concludes with a theoretical consideration of the ‘working out’ of visual culture as a non-linear but nonetheless historical process that attempts to work out the double-binds of globalization and digital culture
