Freud/Hoffmann Presentation

My presentation question: “So in ‘The Sandman’, Hoffmann REALLY likes to use heat and fire as a motif. He often links it to the overarching theme of perception/vision/eyes…Why is that? How is that? How does it link? WHAT?” As you guys know what happened at our last Freud/Hoffmann seminar, my group and I had a […]

Questioning Freud

The two questions from my presentation both involved analyzing Freud’s work: How valid are Freud’s theories of the castration complex and child primary narcissism today? Do you agree with Freud’s view that suppressed desires cause hysteria given Nathaneal’s case from The Sandman? In “The Uncanny” Freud picks apart Hoffman’s short story “The Sandman” along with … Continue reading Questioning Freud →

Freud & Hoffman Presentation Questions

Presentation Questions: Both of my questions for today’s presentation are related to understanding ‘the uncanny’ as a word/ as a concept. First of all, what is the relationship between ‘uncanny’ and ‘fear’?  During my first reading I failed to see the difference, but based on the the way that Jason explained it in his lecture, […]

The Uncanniness of Heimlich

Before reading Sigmund Freud’s The Uncanny, the only Heimlich I knew of was the Heimlich maneuver. Though technically the term for the maneuver was named after the first doctor to describe it, it is still interesting to finally find the meaning of the word itself in a totally unrelated work of text. The distinction between…

The Uncanny: Cognitive Dissidence

When we think of psychology, we often think of Sigmund Freud, the glorified conspiracy theorist whose widely popularized concepts of wish fulfillment, dream interpretation, and the systems of the psyche have left their stain on the modern science as we know it today. Despite some of his rather absurdist notions, particularly on the subject of […]

Oedipus and Freud’s theory on the psyche (Superego, ego & id)

When reading Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, I immediately did a mental character analysis on Oedipus and realized how similar he is to Marlow from Conrad’s Heart of Darkness…Now bare with me, I know it is a bit of a stretch, but what I’m trying to say is, if you apply Freud’s psychology on the psyche […]

“The Shining” in relation to “The Uncanny””

One of the most famous examples of the uncanny – as explained by Freud – can be found in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980). It continually questions the viewer’s perception of reality and makes them unsure of what would otherwise … Continue reading →
