H.C. Andersen centret

Martin Lotz (based on a lecture delivered at "Psykonalytisk Debat", Copenhagen, 1997). The uncanny presupposes a familiar reality from which standpoint the uncanny is perceived. It is argued that the uncanny plays a substantial rôle in the writings of H.C. Andersen. However this ole is in the service of the familiar and pleasant. The subject is illustrated by two themes in H.C. Andersen's texts: 'Manslaughter' and 'the uncanny cave'. The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review, 1998, 21:1, pp. 77-91.
