Abstract
In this paper, I analyse the phenomenon of eeriness as a kind of strange aesthetic experience. Beginning with Fisher’s insight (The Weird and the Eerie, 2017) that we can distinguish weirdness and eeriness from uncanniness, I offer an original account of eeriness. I argue that eeriness is the appearance of an underdetermination in the spatio-temporal location of objects of experience, relative to experiencing agent; this underdetermination results in a destabilisation of the “horizon of object-ivity” within which we make sense of the objects of appearance. This has the existential consequence of destabilising the subject’s sense of being-in-the world. I ground the analysis in examples from both fictional and non-fictional contexts to indicate the generality of the analysis.
在本文中，我将 "阴森 "现象作为一种奇特的审美体验进行分析。费舍尔（The Weird and the Eerie，2017）指出，我们可以将怪异和阴森与不可思议区分开来，从这一见解出发，我对阴森现象进行了原创性的阐述。我认为，"阴森恐怖 "是相对于体验者而言，体验对象的时空位置出现了不确定性；这种不确定性导致了 "对象性视界 "的不稳定性，而我们正是在这一视界中对出现的对象进行感知的。这就造成了主体在世界中的存在感的不稳定。我以虚构和非虚构语境中的例子作为分析的基础，以表明分析的普遍性。
