Im Rahmen der Buchvorstellung von ‘Phantasmata. Techniken des Unheimlichen’ und der Image [&] Narrative Online-Ausgaben ‘Hauntings’ diskutieren Herausgeber und Autorinnen Besonderheiten, Bedeutung und Tragweite des Unheimlichen.

Phantasmata. Techniken des Unheimlichen, vierter Band in der Reihe Cultural Inquiry, setzt bei Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytischem Modell des Unheimlichen an, verfolgt die historische Genese und zeichnet die heterogene Entwicklung bis ins 21. Jahrhundert nach. Der besondere Fokus liegt auf der Verschränkung des Unheimlichen mit dem Begriff Techniken: Zum einen werden Praktiken der Evokation des Unheimlichen untersucht; zum anderen wird gefragt, inwiefern Techniken als Denkfiguren zum Verständnis epistemologischer, ästhetischer und politisch-sozialer Bedingungen des Unheimlichen beitragen. Unter diesen Aspekten versammelt der Band Forschungsbeiträge aus Medien-, Literatur-, Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften, Philosophie, Psychoanalyse und Soziologie.

Hauntings is a double special issue of Image [&] Narrative, a peer-reviewed e-journal on visual narratology. Whereas the first issue is devoted to the problem of narrating the uncanny as a liminal aesthetic experience, the second one focuses on uncanny figures and those undecidable places and situations that we may define as ‘twilight zones’. Taken as a whole, both issues offer a very broad overview of various aspects of the uncanny as an aesthetic affect and effect at work in literature and in art, covering the (pre)history of the uncanny to the present, different linguistic traditions and media.
