Freud in Focus 2
The Freud Museum is releasing the Second Series of our podcast ‘Freud in Focus’, presented by Tom DeRose and Jamie Ruers.
In these 4 episodes, we will discuss Freud’s fascinating foray into the field of Aesthetics, ‘The Uncanny’. Closely reading the text itself, we will attempt to draw out some of the themes and ideas that underpin one of Freud’s most thought-provoking works.
‘Freud in Focus 2: Episode 1’ will be aired on Wednesday, 24th August 2021 and a new episode will be released every other Wednesday.
You can listen to the first season of ‘Freud in Focus‘ and the third season of ‘Freud in Focus’.
Series Producer: Karolina Heller
Bonus Episode
To close our Uncanny series, we are bringing you a special bonus episode from our archive. In a live lecture originally delivered at the Freud Museum in January 2020, Dr Aaron Balick looks at deepfakes, artificial intelligence, and social media algorithms as he uncovers ‘Why might some forms of technology give us the creeps’.
Episode 4
In this final episode exploring The Uncanny, Tom and Jamie look at the impact Freud’s paper had on literature and the arts. Our hosts also reflect upon the Freud Museum’s 2019 exhibition The Uncanny: A Centenary.
Episode 3
In this episode, Tom and Jamie will look at the third and final Part of Freud’s The Uncanny, where Freud concludes by differentiating the uncanny in literature to real-life experiences.
Episode 2
In this episode, Tom and Jamie will be looking at part 2 of Freud’s paper The Uncanny, in which Freud delves into the wonderful world of Hoffmann’s ‘The Sandman’ and discusses doubles, hauntings and inexplicable repetitions in his search for the core of the uncanny effect.
Episode 1
In the first episode, Tom and Jamie will introduce Freud’s 1919 paper The Uncanny. We will look closely at the unusual structure of the first section in this 3-part essay.

Comments
It is fascinating when Freud invites us to read the chapter as a symptom , trying to unveil the term Unheimliche. It s also possible to find in Freud what years later Lacan states as the primary of the signifier.
Sorry about a wrong word in my prior comment. I would like to say the primacy of the signifier
Thank you both for this interesting podcast.
Jamie mention in the fourth podcast something about being able to download the audio experience from app store. However it was not clear to me which app to look for in the app store…Could you please say a bit more about where we could find this material to hear?
thank you so much
my best

Hi Maria!
Sure, the link to the app on Google Play store is here
Of if you use Apple store, you can find the Sandman app here
Hopefully these links work! Let me know if you have any trouble and I’ll be able to help 🙂
Enjoy!
Jamie
Thank you so much Jamie.
The app works. I am listening to it now!
many thanks again
Maria
No problem! I hope you enjoy it!
Best wishes,

It’s remarkable when Freud urges us to interpret the chapter as a symptom, in order to grasp the word Unheimliche. It is also possible to discover in Freud what Lacan later defines as the fundamental of the signifier.
nice
