“The Uncanny in Language, Literature and Culture”
International Conference

Malta/Online: 22-23 August 2025
Deadline for proposals: 20 March 2025
Conference website: https://uncanny.lcir.co.uk

The uncanny captures the unsettling and the eerie—a feeling that defies boundaries between the familiar and the strange. Rooted in Freud’s exploration, the uncanny reveals how what is known and intimate can suddenly become alien, evoking dread and unease. Everyday objects, spaces, and experiences that once offered comfort transform into symbols of danger, disrupting not only our external environments but also the landscapes of our inner selves.
