The spectrality of gender in conflict narratives and post-conflict politics has implications for how the conflict is framed, and therefore managed and normalized. This paper adapts Marysia Zalewski’s concept of ‘Gender Ghosts’ to analyse and deconstruct the dominant memory narratives surrounding the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. This approach underscores the precarious—and often marginalized—role of women, femininity and masculinity, and gender in the writing and rewriting of the conflictual past. Conceptualized as spectrality, this precarity can, however, disrupt and challenge exclusively ethno-nationalist constructions of the past
