Uncanny Modernity - Cultural Theories, Modern Anxieties (Hardcover): Jo Collins Uncanny Modernity - Cultural Theories, Modern Anxieties (Hardcover)
Jo Collins; Edited by J. Jervis
R1,462 Discovery Miles 14 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
