Context:

Freud begins his exploration of the uncanny by reviewing Wilhelm Jentsch’s 1906 essay ‘On the Psychology of the Unconscious’, in which Jentsch argues that the uncanny effect is aroused by the new and the unfamiliar. Initially rejecting Jentsch’s emphasis on newness, Freud insists that the uncanny effect is produced by the old and the familiar, to which we have become alienated through repression. However, the return of the old and familiar in ghost-like traces and apparitions equally casts our present assumptions into doubt, equally giving rise to ‘intellectual uncertainty’, which Jentsch links to the new and unfamiliar phenomena which were proliferating in modern urban spaces. For Jentsch, mannequins, waxworks and automata of all kinds were the new and unfamiliar which signified the modern, but one could say that the simulated liveness of, for example, the waxwork blurred the boundary between animate/inanimate, the living and the dead in the same way as the older beliefs in ghosts and haunting. This connection between the old and the new, the new leading back to the old, is developed by Laura Mulvey as constituting a technological uncanny in which an irrational belief in the liveness of technological simulations projected superhuman powers onto them. As Mulvey says, it was as if ‘the intrinsic ghostliness of the black-and-white photograph elided with the sense that the machine might be able to perceive a presence invisible to the human eye’ (Art and Psychoanalysis by Maria Walsh).
