Context:
While the Surrealists mined the Freudian text to evoke an unconscious that could be recognised in symbols and techniques, Freud’s contemporary legacy is more archival than literal. Texts that were not originally written about art at all have erupted into contemporary art discourse with as much temporal dislocation as the Freudian concept of the uncanny itself – Freud’s essay of the same name, written in 1919, erupting with particular force into the art world in the 1990s. The concept of the uncanny formed part of Freud’s theory of repression and had to do with how elements from the past erupt in the present, imbuing the latter with memory traces that render it disorienting. It is the anxiety that ensues from this disorientation that gives rise to the experience of the uncanny rather than things in themselves, although similarly to Freud’s writing on the dream-work, he also gives accounts of actual objects that could be said to trigger uncanny sensations. That these sensations are tinged with dread and horror links the uncanny to an aesthetics of the ugly as opposed to the emphasis on the beautiful in traditional aesthetics (https://books.google.com.ua/books?id=p5sMKTqE44MC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA20&dq="+he+also+gives+accounts+of+actual+objects+"&source=bl&ots=wYz9Zkss4j&sig=ACfU3U3lepBmcBuYdR8NKlmDFmSZiq-j8g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFtMuqxOnlAhXRZ1AKHdt8D_YQ6AEwAHoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&q="%20he%20also%20gives%20accounts%20of%20actual%20objects%20"&f=false).
