Westerly: Doppelgänger
The essayists in this issue take Freud’s ‘The Uncanny’ as a point of departure to explore uncanny doublings in their own diverse creative practice. There is nothing unitary or dutiful in their approach, nor in their creative rethinking.
‘[…] in this issue we explore how the uncanny manifesting in the form of the Doppelgänger continues to inform, foment, and play through the work of writers and artists’.
Jennifer Rutherford, guest editor.
