-The Uncanny is a [[Freudian]] concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, often being uncomfortably strange, indicating [[ambiguity]]. [[Freud]] describes the uncanny in his work as analogous to the German ''Unheimliche'' or unhomely. The uncanny is "something that was long familiar to the psyche and was [[estranged]] from it only through being repressed. The link with repression now illuminates Schelling's definition of the uncanny's 'something that should have remained hidden and has come into open'"+*Todorovian uncanny
