Uncanny Modernity: Cultural Theories, Modern Anxieties - Hardcoverby Jo Collins (Author), J. Jervis (Editor) This book explores the sense in which the uncanny may be a distinctively modern experience, the way these unnerving feelings and unsettling encounters disturb the rational presumptions of the modern world view and the security of modern self identity, just as the latter may themselves be implicated in the production of these experiences as uncanny.
