Abstract:This article thinks through the notion of a decolonial uncanny via a reading of Anna Kim's Anatomie einer Nacht [Anatomy of a Night] and a theoretical discussion of the Freudian uncanny as underpinned by the antinomies which structure German Romanticism. I argue that Kim's novel, set in Greenland, shifts away from the Freudian aesthetic uncanny by emphasizing the geopolitical and ontological while questioning the conception of otherness in German Romanticism and Freud's psychoanalytic iteration by reconfiguring the uncanny to trouble the oppositional framework wherein ‘the Greenlander’ might appear as the silenced other. Kim's text negotiates a different moment within the Freudian uncanny which pivots on the aporia of the revelation of concealment, resulting in multifaceted representations of alterity.
摘要:本文通过阅读Anna Kim的Anatomie einer Nacht〔Anatomie einer Nacht〕,以及以构成德国浪漫主义的二律背反为基础的弗洛伊德式离奇的理论讨论,思考了非殖民化离奇的概念。我认为,金的小说以格陵兰岛为背景,通过强调地缘政治和本体论,同时质疑德国浪漫主义和弗洛伊德精神分析迭代中的另类概念,从而摆脱了弗洛伊德式的美学神秘,通过重新配置神秘来困扰对立框架,在对立框架中,“格陵兰人”可能表现为沉默的另一个人。金的文本在弗洛伊德式的神秘主义中谈判了一个不同的时刻,这一神秘主义以隐藏的启示为中心,导致了多方面的交替表现。

Abstract:The German-Czech author Lenka Reinerová explores the extermination of her family during the Holocaust in depth in only two texts: ‘Der Ausflug zum Schwanensee’ [The Journey to Swan Lake, 1983] and ‘Kein Mensch auf der Straße’ [Not a Soul on the Street, 1998]. In both instances, she employs elements and narrative strategies traditionally associated with the uncanny to represent the catastrophic event and its enduring impact. In ‘Kein Mensch auf der Straße’ in particular, this approach creates a grotesque contrast between the post-socialist bustle of Prague and the city of the dead the narrator encounters in Theresienstadt. Thus the spatial fictional representation of the uncanny serves to stage a return of repressed individual, family and national memory.
摘要:德裔捷克作家Lenka reinerov在《天鹅湖之旅》(1983年)和《大街上没有灵魂》(1998年)这两篇文章中深入探讨了大屠杀期间她的家人被灭绝的情况。在这两个例子中,她使用了传统上与神秘有关的元素和叙事策略来表现灾难性事件及其持久的影响。尤其是在《Kein Mensch auf der Straße》中,这种方法在后社会主义喧嚣的布拉格和叙述者在特莱西恩施塔特(Theresienstadt)遇到的死者之城之间创造了一种怪诞的对比。因此,对神秘事件的空间虚构表现有助于对被压抑的个人、家庭和国家记忆的回归。

Abstract:This article explores the representation of women inextricably linked to their domestic spaces in three twenty-first-century horror films by Austrian directors, Spitzendeckchen [Vienna Waits for You, 2012] by Dominik Hartl, Ich seh, ich seh [Goodnight Mommy, 2014] by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz and HomeSick (2015) by Jakob Erwa. I argue that the uncanny in these films emerges, both narratively as well as cinematographically, out of the female protagonists' parasitic relationship to the home and the return of the repressed societal impetus of female domesticity in the very absence of male agency. The way this gender dynamic is represented is closely linked to the contemporary Austrian context.
