This filled me with indescribable rage--for the disrespect to the archive(s) and what, who, etc has already/always been elided from them... and also to the real practices of critical fabulation, cultural memory, and approaches like hauntology that come from queer/trans and Black scholars above all!

Rebranding a hallucination as a ‘critical confabulation’ that can fill archival gaps is a big no from me.
