Via an analysis of The Ring (Gore Verbinski, 2002), Chapter Nine contends that this paradigmatic technological shift has deep intersections with the ideological tangling of beginnings and endings characterized by the millennial turn. These intersections are embodied by the uncanny child in The Ring who eerily conflates decay and growth.","PeriodicalId":424393,"journal":{"name":"The Uncanny Child in Transnational Cinema","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123019743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter employs Alison Landsberg’s ‘prosthetic memory’ and Angela Ndalianis’s ‘horror sensorium’ to elucidate the particularly visceral ways that these children inflict ‘prosthetic trauma’ upon their audiences. In so doing, the uncanny child in these millennial J-horror films functions as a powerful – even traumatic – agent of counter-memory, dismantling the imagined coherence of Japan’s national narrative.","PeriodicalId":424393,"journal":{"name":"The Uncanny Child in Transnational Cinema","volume":"463 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133039385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter demonstrates how childhood became entangled with a tightly controlled narrative of national progress in post-Civil War Spain through the autocratic Franco regime. In the heavily censored f ilm industry of Franco’s 36-year reign (1939-1975), the cinematic child became a conceptual tool of Francoist propaganda, positing a sense of continuity between pre-Republican Imperialist Spain and postwar Franco fascism. Thus, the child came to hold a particularly significant but precarious ideological role in late 20th-century Spanish cinema. This context positions the uncanny child of millennial Spanish cinema as an important tool of collective memory that challenges Spain’s previously dominant historical narrative.","PeriodicalId":424393,"journal":{"name":"The Uncanny Child in Transnational Cinema","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130794339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
