Description
One hundred years ago Freud's definition of the uncanny was 'not the strange, but the familiar become strange'. In this anthology of new work from a range of writers and academics, the uncanny is a place where you feel at home - until home turns against you. It's a city where the streets can't join up. The uncanny alienates your own body from you through medical advances, such as prosthetic limbs or cardiac defibrillators. The 'uncanny valley' is a landscape where robots try to imitate you.
This anthology gets beneath the skin and into the depths of what it means to be human in an age of machines and genes.
Featuring papers and stories from Pippa Goldschmidt, Gill Haddow, Fadhila Mazanderani, Jane Alexander, Ruth Aylett, Christine De Luca, Vassilis Galanos, Jules Horne, Donna McCormack, Aoife S. McKenna, Jane McKie, nicky melville, Dilys Rose, Naomi Salman, Helen Sedgwick, Sarah Stewart, Alice Tarbuck, Clare Uytman, Sara Wasson, Neil Williamson and Eris Young.
