Abstract

The ability of artworks, films and other media to create a sense of the uncanny in viewers has received a great deal of critical attention in recent years (e.g. Masschelein 2012; Lehmann 2016). However, although the written word is just as capable as these visual media of arousing such feelings in readers, the strategies that are used to achieve this remain relatively unexplored. To that end, employing both Freud’s and Jentsch’ theory of the uncanny, this article sets out to examine the tools that are available to writers to convey notions of uncanniness. Focusing on texts by Herta Müller and Aglaja Veteranyi, two writers whose lives and works have been shaped by feelings of dislocation, strangeness and rupture, this article will analyse the methods used, both individually and cumulatively, to create feelings of unease in the reader.
