Phantasmata
Techniques of the Uncanny
The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to re-assess the Freudian concept of the ‘uncanny’ in relation to its reverberations in literature, arts, aesthetics and politics. Built upon a tension between familiarity and non-familiarity, the ›uncanny‹ is characterized by a peculiarly floating and undetermined nature, thereby allowing to re-discuss it as a model for understanding the interrelation between possible and impossible, norm and deviation in a given culture.
Texts were circulated among attendants before the beginning of the workshop, in order to offer a basis for discussion.
