Sigmund Freud's essay 'The Uncanny' is celebrating a century since
publication. It is arguably his greatest and most fruitful
contribution to the study of culture and the environment.
Environmental Humanities and the Uncanny brings into the open
neglected aspects of the uncanny in this famous essay in its
centenary year and in the work of those before and after him, such
as Friedrich Schelling, Walter Benjamin, E. T. A. Hoffmann and Bram
Stoker. This book does so by focussing on religion, especially at a
time and for a world in which some sectors of the monotheisms are
in aggressive, and sometimes violent, contention against those of
other monotheisms, and even against other sectors within their own
monotheism. The chapter on Schelling's uncanny argues that
monotheisms come out of polytheism and makes the plea for
polytheism central to the whole book. It enables rethinking the
relationships between mythology and monotheistic and polytheistic
religions in a culturally and politically liberatory and
progressive way. Succeeding chapters consider the uncanny cyborg,
the uncanny and the fictional, and the uncanny and the
Commonwealth, concluding with a chapter on Taoism as a polytheistic
religion. Building on the author's previous work in Environmental
Humanities and Theologies in bringing together theories of religion
and the environment, this book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of the environmental humanities, ecocultural
studies and religion.
