Abstract
This essay will go over the basic notions of the uncanny while addressing the distance and the alienation of subject from the very concept of time in the imagination of the future in the age of Anthropocene. In fact, the two trajectories of time, namely past and future, overlap as the uncanny reflection of each other. It is by paying attention to the phenomenon and the consequence of the melting of glacier of the Alps that this essay attempts to remap the basic concepts of time, which consists of two kinds of engagements to historicization, namely remembering and anticipating. This essay argues that our failure to imagine the future is connected to the repressed memory of the colonial experience. In other words, the unveiling of the mountain as a result of global warming shows that our historical time is moving towards its own end, demanding us to address the issues that are repressed in our culture that allows all kinds of extractions. The time of Anthropocene is now bridging the gap between the location of death and the location of life with the force that can be best addressed as the uncanny return of the repressed voice.
