Abstract
The uncanny is a mild form of anxiety and alienation that arises when something familiar suddenly appears strange. Originating in psychoanalytic discourse, the uncanny was developed as a critical and theoretical concept within genre studies and poststructuralist theory in various disciplines of the humanities. At the end of the twentieth century it became a concept that draws attention to the real yet immaterial presence of what is repressed and forgotten by mainstream culture and scientific discourse.
