Am I a monster or is this what it means to be human?
http://entropymag.org/am-i-a-monster-or-is-this-what-it-means-to-be-human/ not sure that these sorts of illustrations actually help us to deal with our own all-too-human experiences of the uncanny but would welcome any examples of how they do from anyone reading.
“In his work, Unheimlich, Imaginário Popular Brasileiro, Brazilian artist Walmor Corrêa offers us a different point of view, an unusual perspective with which to recognize the monster, or to recognize ourselves within it. The title of his work, Unheimlich refers to the psychological term for “uncanny,” elucidated by Sigmund Freud in his essay Das Unheimliche,[2] Freud defines unheimlich, or uncanny, as a cognitive dissonance produced by everything which is familiarly strange to us because it has been unconsciously repressed by different circumstances. Consequently, this cognitive dissonance generates intellectual uncertainty or a bewildered logic (in the field of linguistics, paraphrasing Julia Kristeva,[3] an unheimlich happens when a symbol ceases to function as a symbol and all its efficiency and the significations of what was symbolized is transformed; the sign is not an arbitrary experience, but rather assumes real relevance because its arbitrariness crumbles to the benefit of the imagination). Even though Walmor Corrêa works under the Freudian premise, in Unheimlich Imáginario Popular Brasileiro he inserts other reflections about the topic through the asking of new questions. He has broadened the possibilities of his monsters, referring to them as beings or entities. This is not a simple politically correct way to refer to them, because there is no redemptive discourse or apology in his work, but rather a search for the widening of circumstances, new alveoli, vacant alveoli, other angles in which the possible response is a question to our bewildered logic.”
