Resum
[eng] This dissertation and its prequel, my minor thesis, have their seeds in a concern with a certain uncanniness embedded in multicultural developments in Western society. In his 1919 essay “The Uncanny”, Freud explains the uncanny as a special quality of feeling: it is a frightening, disquieting strangeness, rooted in the familiar becoming strange. A century after the publication of Freud’s essay,1 this feeling of estrangement from a known and secure world has become a universal feature of the postmodern West, and locks in with profound changes in Western society felt to be beyond individual and communal control. I am specifically interested in tracing how the uncanny is activated in contemporary issues of race and ethnicity, how it dislocates the Euro-centrism of our identity, and how it signals towards identity’s redefinition along the parameters of race, gender and class through articulation and performance.
