I argue that Kim's novel, set in Greenland, shifts away from the Freudian aesthetic uncanny by emphasizing the geopolitical and ontological while questioning the conception of otherness in German Romanticism and Freud's psychoanalytic iteration by reconfiguring the uncanny to trouble the oppositional framework wherein ‘the Greenlander’ might appear as the silenced other. Kim's text negotiates a different moment within the Freudian uncanny which pivots on the aporia of the revelation of concealment, resulting in multifaceted representations of alterity.","PeriodicalId":41034,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"68 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44896602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both instances, she employs elements and narrative strategies traditionally associated with the uncanny to represent the catastrophic event and its enduring impact. In ‘Kein Mensch auf der Straße’ in particular, this approach creates a grotesque contrast between the post-socialist bustle of Prague and the city of the dead the narrator encounters in Theresienstadt. Thus the spatial fictional representation of the uncanny serves to stage a return of repressed individual, family and national memory.","PeriodicalId":41034,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"32 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43519620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that the uncanny in these films emerges, both narratively as well as cinematographically, out of the female protagonists' parasitic relationship to the home and the return of the repressed societal impetus of female domesticity in the very absence of male agency. The way this gender dynamic is represented is closely linked to the contemporary Austrian context.","PeriodicalId":41034,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"102 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44181893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
