Westerly: Doppelgänger
Online Special Issue 11
Guest edited by Jennifer Rutherford.
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.
Featuring essays, a photo essay and poetry by Marion May Campbell, David McCooey, Maria Takolander, Jill Jones and more.
‘Drawing from a symposium held in 2019, hosted by the J.M. Coetzee Centre for Creative Practice at the University of Adelaide, marking the one hundredth anniversary of Freud’s essay, 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.’
