The Feminist Uncanny in Theory and Art Practice

'paraconceptualism', as well as less well-known practice, such as the "Women's Postal Art Even (Feministo)" and the photomontages of Maud Sulter. Dead (lexicalised) metaphors, unhomely domesticity, identity and (dis)identification, and the tension between family stories and art's histories are examined in and from the perspective of different artistic and critical practices, illustrating different aspects of the feminist uncanny.Through a 'partisan' yet comprehensive critical review of the fascinating concept of the uncanny, "The Feminist Uncanny in Theory and Art Practice" proposes a new concept, the feminist uncanny, which it upholds as one of the most enduring legacies of the Women's Liberation Movement in contemporary art theory and practice."
