Uncanny Modernity de Jo Collins

Uncanny Modernity: Cultural Theories, Modern Anxieties

Jo Collins

J. Jervis

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.
