dc.description.abstractThis thesis is a study of the ways in which contemporary French writers exploit the themes, imagery and dynamics of the uncanny (das Unheimliche) to generate a repertoire of narrative tactics for the portrayal of the chez soi. It aims to explore a developing tendency within current French writing to re-appropriate figures of the strange - the double, intellectual uncertainty, the fragmented body, the spectral, the haunted house - in order to represent the ‘familiar’ spaces of the home, the family, the self and the everyday. This phenomenon is studied within a selection of nine novels by Marie NDiaye, Eugene Savitzkaya and Emmanuel Carrere, three novelists who depict the subject as being in an unheimlich relationship to the chez soi. My readings of these texts are informed by contemporary philosophical, psychoanalytic and deconstructionist reinterpretations of the Freudian uncanny.
