Produktbeschreibung

Uncanny Histories in Film and Media probes the uncanny as a mode of historical analysis. Whether writing about film movements, individual works, or the legacies of major or forgotten critics and theorists, the contributors challenge our inherited narratives to reveal a disturbance of what was once familiar in the histories of our field.
