Talk:The Uncanny (Freud)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Move?
I was unaware of the previous definition put forth by Jentsch. In light of this definition, should the article be moved from 'The Uncanny (Freud)' to 'The Uncanny (psychology)' or something along those lines? --Thaddius 19:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but theoretically, this article should be about the Freud essay 'The Uncanny', rather than simply the underlying philosophy. --anonymous 13:04, 11 Feb 2007
- I agree, I was actually hoping that such topics could be added\expanded once I started the article, even though the essay is a long winded description of the philosophy the page defines. I'm afraid I do not know much of the essay itself though. --Thaddius 15:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Abjection
Whom is the notion of the abject discussed in the article associated with? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.231.18.25 (talk • contribs) 7 March 2007.
- Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). As for the abject, the article on the abject clearly states that the term was defined in the work of one Julia Kristeva, an apparent psychoanalytic feminist (kind of a contradiction of terms), but its talk page states that Aldous Huxley used the word, previous to Kristeva, in Brave New World. If anything I'd attribute it to Kristeva. Hope that helps. --Thaddius 15:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
