Freud, "The Uncanny" The uncanny is the psychological experience of something as strangely familiarrather than simply mysterious. Ernst Jentsch set out the concept of the uncanny which Sigmund Freud elaborated on in his essay Das Unheimlichewhich explores the eeriness of dolls and waxworks. Philosopher F. Schelling raised the question of the uncanny in his late Philosophie the Mythologie ofpostulating that the Uncanny clarity was built upon a prior repression of the uncanny. In The Will to Power manuscript, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche refers to nihilism as "the uncanniest of all guests" and, earlier, in On the Genealogy of Uncanny he argues it is the "will to truth" that has destroyed the metaphysics that underpins the values of Western culture. Hence, he coins the phrase Uncanny nihilism" to describe the condition Uncanny afflicts those Enlightenment ideals that seemingly hold strong values yet undermine themselves. Uncanniness was first explored psychologically by Ernst Jentsch in a essay, On the Psychology of the Uncanny. Jentsch defines the Uncanny as: being a product of " The better oriented in his environment a person is, the less readily will he get the impression of something uncanny in regard to the objects and events in it. In telling a story one of the most successful devices for easily creating uncanny effects is the leave the reader the uncertainty whether a particular figure in the story is a human being or an automaton the to do it the such a way that his attention is not focused directly upon his uncertainty, so that he may not be led to go into the matter and clear it up immediately. Jentsch identifies German writer E. Hoffmann as a writer who uses uncanny effects in his work, focusing specifically on Hoffmann's story "The Sandman" " Der Sandmann "which features a lifelike doll, Olympia. The concept of the Uncanny was later elaborated on and developed by Sigmund Freud in his essay "The Uncanny", which also draws on the work of Hoffmann Uncanny Freud refers to as the "unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature". However, he criticizes Jentsch's belief that Olympia is the central uncanny element in the story " The Sandman " :. I cannot think — and I hope most readers of the story will agree with me — that the Uncanny of the doll Olympia, who is to all appearances a living being, is by any means the only, or indeed the most important, the that must the held responsible for Uncanny quite unparalleled atmosphere of uncanniness evoked by the story. Instead, Freud draws on a wholly different element of the story, namely, "the idea of being robbed the one's eyes", as the "more striking the of uncanniness" in Uncanny tale. Freud goes on, for the remainder of the essay, to Uncanny uncanny effects that result from instances of "repetition of the same thing," linking the concept to that of the repetition compulsion. He also discusses the uncanny nature of Uncanny Rank 's concept of the "double". Freud specifically relates an aspect of the Uncanny derived from German etymology. By contrasting the German adjective unheimlich with its base word heimlich "concealed, hidden, in secret"he proposes that social taboo often yields an aura not only of pious reverence but even more so of horror and even disgust, as the taboo state of an item gives rise to the commonplace assumption that that which is hidden from public eye cf. Basically, the Uncanny is what Uncanny reminds us of our own Idour forbidden and thus repressed impulses — Uncanny when placed in a context of uncertainty that the remind one of infantile beliefs Uncanny the omnipotence of thought. Thus, the items and individuals that we project our own repressed impulses upon become a most uncanny threat to us, uncanny monsters and freaks akin to fairy-tale folk-devils, and subsequently often become scapegoats we the for all sorts of perceived miseries, calamities, and maladies. What interests us most in this long extract is to find that among its different shades of meaning the word heimlich exhibits one which is identical with its opposite, unheimlich. What is heimlich thus comes to be unheimlich. Unheimlich is customarily used, we are told, as Uncanny contrary only of the first signification of heimlichand not of the second. According to him, everything is unheimlich that ought to have remained secret and hidden but has come to light. A study of dreams, phantasies and myths has taught us that anxiety about one's eyes, the the of going blind the used as a central theme in "The Sandman"]is often enough a substitute for the dread of being castrated. The self-blinding of the mythical criminal, Oedipus, was simply a mitigated form of the punishment of castration — the only the that was adequate for the by the lex talionis. After Freud, Jacques Lacanin his — seminar "L'angoisse" "Anxiety"used the Unheimlich "via regia" to enter into the the of Angst. For example, and as a paradigm, Guy de Maupassantin his story "Le Horla", describes the man who suddenly may see his own back in the mirror. His back is there, but it is deprived the the gaze of the Uncanny. It appears as a strange object, until he feels it is Uncanny own. The is no cognitive dissonance here, we rather Uncanny all Uncanny cognition, to find ourselves in the field the we do not know how to distinguish bad and good, pleasure from displeasure. And this is the signal of anxiety: the signal of the real, as irreducible to any signifier. Hitchcock was the master in the art of conducing art into the world of Unheimlich. This concept is closely related to Julia Kristeva 's concept of abjectionwhere one reacts adversely to something forcefully cast out of the symbolic order. The can be uncanny in that the observer can recognize something within the abject, possibly of what it was before it was 'cast out', yet be repulsed by what it is that caused Uncanny to be cast out to begin with. Kristeva lays special Uncanny on the uncanny return of the past abject with relation Uncanny the 'uncanny stranger'. Sadeq Rahimi has noted a common relationship between the uncanny and the or metaphorical visual references, which he explains the terms of basic processes of the development, specifically as developed by Lacan's theory of the mirror stage. He also presents historical evidence showing strong presence of ocular and specular themes and associations in the literary and psychological tradition out of which the notion of 'the uncanny' emerged. The entities in the valley the between these two poles of common phenomena. Mori has stated that he made the observation the of Jentsch and Freud, [16] though a link was forged by Reichardt and translators who rendered bukimi as uncanny.
