In his famous work "The Uncanny", psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud writes: "[the uncanny in fictions] is a much more fertile province than the uncanny in real life, for it contains the whole of the latter and something more besides, something that cannot be found in real life (...)

In his famous work "The Uncanny", psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud writes: "[the uncanny in fictions] is a much more fertile province than the uncanny in real life, for it contains the whole of the latter and something more besides, something that cannot be found in real life (...) The somewhat paradoxical result is that in the first place a great deal that is not uncanny in fiction would be so if it happened in real life; and in the second place that there are many more means of creating uncanny effects in fiction than there are in real life." Seizing upon this conundrum, Lewis Kerfane deploys the tenets of Freudian and Lacanian theory as he seeks to apply them to literature, the visual arts and cinema. This book takes the reader from dream interpretation to the symbolic order at large, to the fundamental fantasy, the gaze and the object of desire, to the uncanny proper, and finally the operation of suture at work in the movies. More Real Than Reality Itself thus gradually delineatesthe contours of the real as it tries to make sense of art in all its forms.
