Katarzyna Ancuta’s article ‘Communal After-Living: Asian Ghosts and the City’ explores the significance of Asian ghosts in relation to communal living and urbanization by examining the cultural significance of Asian ghosts as they relate to communal living and urbanization in our world today. It is effective for the author to argue that Asian ghost stories are reflections of a culture that emphasizes the interconnection between the living and the dead, and can be used as a means of connecting with the past and to connect with the afterlife collectively, and this can serve as a means of connecting with the afterlife collectively.
It is a well-written article that offers a unique perspective on the subject matter that does justice to its title. In addition to being highly grounded in research and analysis, the book makes a valuable contribution to the field of cultural studies as it is supported by extensive research. Generally, I found the article to be a fascinating read that invited the reader to explore the complex relationship between ghosts, communities, and urbanization in Asian cultures, which is one of the most intriguing aspects of the article.
