MARTINI, André De  and  JUNIOR, Nelson Ernesto Coelho. Ego feeling and the uncanny. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp. 195-212. ISSN 0486-641X.

This article presents a study about "The Uncanny" (Freud, 1919). The author starts from the displacements of the Ego feeling which may be, according to Freud, the third element necessary for the constitution of the uncanny. It is the first time of a more systematic approach to the idea that the uncanny (whether in literary/narrative experience or in ordinary reality) is produced by the ambivalent operations of language and body, and the result is a tension and disturbance of the boundaries and borders of the Ego. Finally, we will consider themes such as splitting, affirmation, and disavowal. They all are essential for understanding the structure of the Self and its simultaneous crossing through different matrices of intersubjectivity, that is, through the presence of the other in its constitutive function of subjectivities.

Keywords : the uncanny; Ego; Ego feeling; intersubjectivity; perception.
