Examines and interrogates the concept of the 'uncanny', and the
cultural contexts which allow such experiences of disorientation
and alienation.This book includes translation of Ernst Jensch's
seminal essay, On the Psychology of the Uncanny (1906) - first time
this has been available in English. A timely collection - the term
'uncanny' has become confused in critical theory, and this book
helps clarify what it means in contemporary culture. It has a broad
appeal and illustrates the range and influence of the 'uncanny' in
current research in the humanities and beyond (contributors work in
a range of fields, from film studies, literary theory, to history
and cultural studies).It includes well-known contributors such as
Julian Wolfreys, David Punter and Roger Luckhurst.This book
explores the sense in which the uncanny may be a distinctively
modern experience, the way these unnerving feelings and unsettling
encounters disturb the rational presumptions of the modern world
view and the security of modern self-identity, just as the latter
may themselves be implicated in the production of these experiences
as uncanny.
