Abstract:
In this article, I argue for the notion of what I term ‘uncanny water’ as a conceptual tool for reading contemporary oceanic fictions. The uncanny’s affective capacity to destabilise epistemological and ontological certainties makes it a particularly potent literary tool for challenging the nature/culture binary. I argue that fictions which actively defamiliarise the ocean can be used to redress the anthropocentric privilege found in hitherto narratives of the oceanic that were predicated upon mastery and control, and that uncanny moments of displacement and uncertainty can illuminate human/oc

Abstract:
The nineteenth century in the West was a period of intellectual and artistic fascination with the East, both distant and near: Asian and Eastern European. One of the regions that attracted the interest of Western Europeans was Styria, situated on the border separating Austria from Hungary and the Balkans, that is, the West from the East. Borderland cultural phenomena stimulate the imagination as much as exotic phenomena. Both disturb with their hybrid character, which results from the mixing of elements from familiar and alien cultures. With their duality and ambiguity, borderlands are the sou

Abstract:
This essay reflects on the paradox that invests common perceptions of prison interiors by presenting a formal investigation of the nineteenth century prison of Buoncammino in Italy. 
 While we unanimously refuse as abominable the pre-modern dark dungeon, we are also very ambivalent towards the (unrealised) promises of the carefully designed enlightened and ‘enlightening’ spaces of the modern prison, which in principle we consider superior but that, ultimately, we end up perceiving in a not too dissimilar way from the pre-modern imaginary of darkness. Is this survival of darkness inside mo

Abstract:
Sometimes humanoid-like robots or computer characters evoke fear. This is because we know that they are only created to look like people. For example: robot Sophia looks like a real person, but it can’t move naturally, it moves like a robot and sometimes it scares. This phenomenon is called "Uncanny Valley" and it was introduced in the 1970s by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori. Mori loved designing robots and the more he learned, the more realistic his creatures looked. But he noticed that the simpler the robots were the more positive reaction they evoked but the more realistic or human-like

Abstract:
The Uncanny Valley Effect (UVE) first emerged as a warning against making industrial robots appear so highly human-like that they could unsettle the real humans around them. It proposed a specific pattern of negative emotional responses to entities that were almost but not quite human, and has been proposed as the reason why some entities such as dolls, mannequins and zombies may appear unsettling. The aim of this thesis was to move beyond an anecdotal explanation to understand more about the perception of near-human faces, and how this compares to the perception of human and non-human faces.

Abstract:
This thesis presents my study of “ghosthunting”—the practice of attempting to capture ghosts, primarily using cameras and audio recorders—as a metaphorical device for the use of audio-visual media within anthropology. I conducted fieldwork with ghosthunters, paying particular attention to their attendant audio-visual media practices and outputs, in order to redress the reluctance of anthropology to a) evaluate audio and visual media as mechanisms for producing anthropological critique—although some anthropologists have taken pains to do that with writing—and b) to understand the particular "ha

Abstract:
Fear is one of the oldest and most basic of human emotions. In this thesis, I will explore the topic of fear in relation to literature, both a staple of the horror genre as well as a device in literary works, as well as in my own writings. In addition, I will use Sigmund Freud's theory of the “uncanny” as a possible device to examine the complexities of fear and its effects both on the mind and body through the medium of literature, and, more specifically, where and how these notions are used within my own short stories. By exploring how and why certain fears are generated, we may be able to b

Abstract Thermoplastic welding has been employed to join corrosion resistant plastic materials together for nearly 50 years. Using heat, pressure, and time to join two or more pieces together to produce a weld has created an entire industry of corrosion resistant products to a broad range of industrial end users. Products such as tanks, linings, piping systems, scrubbers, hoods, duct, wet benches, process equipment, and machinery have been assembled as fabricated products for corrosive service using thermoplastic welding processes.

This troubling sensation of wonder is still alive today, after almost a century from their construction, and it is particularly vivid in some of the interiors, as we can notice from the photographic documentation of the time. Sigmund Freud, in his book “The interpretation of dreams”, underlined the direct relation existing between the interior of the human psyche and the interior of the house a subject lives in.
