This accessible and meticulously researched book is a philosophical study dedicated to the psychoanalytic dimension of the uncanny, and the discussions on monstrosity as fundamental concepts to address contemporary experiences of anguish, desire, suffering and alienation.
Examining the uncanny in Freud and Lacan, the book explores its emergence through psychoanalysis and aesthetics, as well as its meta-psychological implications. Chapters in this book explore the history and connection between the uncanny and monstrosity in both philosophy and psychoanalysis, following on from the construction of Freud's 'The Uncanny' in 1919, and focusing on these concepts through different perspectives, such as Marxism.
Offering new insights and arguments on these fascinating concepts, this book will be of interest to philosophers, psychoanalysts and psychologists, as well as appealing to professionals and students in the worlds of arts, film and history.
