Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. ![]() ![]() Analisi di due concetti apparentemente intraducibili (weird e eerie) che Fisher definisce e correda di esempi tratti da letteratura e cinema. Un libro che immagino divertente da scrivere (lo è sempre “inventare” categorie e definirle) e piacevole da leggere, aggiungendo un livello all’universo pop di Fisher, anche se forse non è proprio così in quanto questo è purtroppo l'ultimo testo prima del suicidio. Honestly, I'm giving The Weird and the Eerie four stars for Fisher's lucid prose and the overall quality of his insight. As a whole, the book is uneven and the individual essays, while often quite good, could use a larger context than that Fisher provides with his explications of "the weird" and "the eerie." Still, quite a lot to think about, and no doubt subsequent writers will use Fisher's interpretations to generate a more comprehensive hermeneutics of the weird. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft,H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan.
