UNCANNY NORTHERN ARCHE-TEXT

The long winter of the North forces the Goth ... to find sources of happiness in foul weather....

––John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice, vol. II

Uncanny Northern Arche-text is a course that encourages students to grapple with the aesthetic conditions of the uncanny. It builds on Sigmund Freud’s famous essay of 1919, Das Unheimliche, translated into English as “The Uncanny.” Freud was interested in the aesthetic experience of the uncanny because the German word unheimlich is not simply the opposite of das heimlich, the “homely.” Rather, “heimlich is a word the meaning of which develops in the direction of ambivalence, until it finally coincides with its opposite, unheimlich.” The un of unheimlich designates the repression of something to make das heimlich seem homely, and the aesthetic sensation of das unheimlich is the discovery that repression has been haunting the home all along. It reveals the homely to be “un-homely.” This course of lecture topics will consequently explore the architectural possibilities of the un-homely haunting architecture’s sense of house and home.

The course title of Uncanny Northern Arche-text calls attention to the problematic translation of Freud’s text into English. Das unheimlich and the uncanny are not perfectly synonymous. Nicholas Royle has demonstrated that the English words canny/uncanny experience a slippage comparable to Freud’s heimlich/unheimlich, but the English translation effaces the architectural possibilities of Freud’s study. There is nothing explicitly architectural about the words “canny” or “uncanny.” This has not been a problem for literary theorists, like Royle, who draw upon Freud’s essay in terms of literary aesthetics. After all, Freud’s exploration of das unheimlich was the discovery of a “remote” province that borders psychoanalytic and

literary discourse. But by that same token, Royle insists that the uncanny belongs to no discourse: “If it belongs, it is no longer a question of the uncanny.” Thus, Uncanny Northern Arche-text is an exploration of architectural discourse as it borders an uncanny hinterland that does not belong to philosophy, psychoanalysis, architecture, or literature. The lecture topics rather draw upon philosophical, psychoanalytic, and literary paradigms of the uncanny as leverage to uncover the un-canniness of architecture.

Anthony Vidler and Mark Wigley have already engaged the un-canniness of architecture in a general sense. This course will use “Gothic” as a specific watchword for the exploration of architecture’s uncanny hinterlands. Furthermore, as a quintessentially Northern style for both Europe and North America, Gothic architecture situates those hinterlands somewhere in a quasi-mythical North of forests and savagery, ice and snow. Gothic literature has long been held as the standard of textual un-canniness, but the shared “Gothic” signifier raises questions about the un-canniness of modern Gothic architecture in the North—not simply the domestic houses erected in the name of a Gothic Revival that made various people feel at home in their domesticity. The Gothic adjective also raises questions about how people feel at home in the house of God or the playhouse or the courthouse or the statehouse. And these various “houses” are only explicit examples of buildings in which at least some people are meant to feel at home.

What has been repressed in any architectural use of the Gothic? You are encouraged to explore the un-canniness of the Gothic in a specific building or select set of buildings with a Northern connection, whether built or merely planned, real or fictitious. But your explorations of Uncanny Northern Arche-text need not be limited to the Gothic. Gothic literature may be the standard for the textual uncanny, but any religious text may be read uncannily into the architecture of any house of worship, any play into any playhouse, the law into any courthouse, and acts of government into any state house or parliamentary complex of houses. Conversely, the architecture of any church house might render scripture uncanny, or the playhouse might render the play uncanny, and so on. Ultimately, because the uncanny belongs neither to architecture nor literature, each haunts the other in myriad ways to be explored through historical research and applied to contemporary practice.

Summary of Course Requirements:

Class Participation 20%Project Proposal 20%Final Presentation & Term Paper 60%

Description of Course Requirements:

2

Project Proposal: You will present a five-minute project proposal during class time (May 21 or 23). The proposal must identify the building(s) to be studied in pursuit of the term paper. It must also identify the textual body that renders the chosen architecture uncanny, or vice versa. It must identify the methodological lens through which an understanding of the uncanny is to be built, and it must identify the comprehensive body of research to be used in exploring the un-canniness of the chosen architecture. Five minutes will be given at the end of each proposal for the other students and the instructor to provide feedback on the prospective project.

Final Presentation & Term Paper: You will present a working draft of your paper, about twenty minutes in length (June 18 or 20). The draft must present a clear thesis concerning the chosen architecture, and it must develop a textual synthesis between the comparative literature, the substantiating research, and your original contributions toward the study of your chosen architecture. It must then arrive at persuasive conclusions about the un-canniness of the architecture under study. Ten minutes will be given at the end of each presentation for the other students and the instructor to give final suggestions to refine the paper. You will then submit a finished paper to my office (June 25). The paper should not exceed ten type-written, double-spaced pages (including foot/endnotes, but excluding references or illustrations), with a twelve-point font and one-inch margins on all sides. All citations must be consistently formatted, and all illustrations must be clearly labelled. Part of the term paper grade will be based on your ability to integrate the suggestions given during the final presentation phase. All late papers are subject to a 10% penalty per day, starting at midnight of the due date.COURSE SCHEDULE & CONTENT
