- Title
Lacan's Anamorphic Object: Beneath Freud's Unheimlich.
- Authors
Colman, Athena V.
- Abstract
The article presents the author's insights on the use of the elaboration of anamorphosis given by Jacques Lacan in offering conceptual resources, which capture the tensile structuration manifesting the experience of the uncanny. The author relates the efforts of Sigmund Freud to clarify the uncanny which leads the people away from the clarity. She adds that the traditional Western notion of a stable subjectivity is undermined in the anamorphosis of Lacan.
