Quote Quoting Melville (view post)
Here and Now spring from perception, but when we perceive, we are already in a state of mind; the perception appears in consciousness already within the context of our concepts, sense of Self and Otherness, etc. The uncanny ruptures the cohesion of this context, but that does indeed bring us back to whether the movement is temporal or atemporal. Do we perceive something, try to fit it within our expectations of reality, and fail, or is the uncanny thing given to us within those expectations, leading to a manifold of perception containing within itself an incongruity?
btw, where did you get all these uncanny stuffs? are they in later parts of the book? i am planning on doing a research on surrealism and thai comics, and i think that might be useful.
