Around 1900, when the last blank spaces on their maps were filled, Europeans travelled to far-flung places hoping to find traces of the spectacularly foreign. They discovered instead what Freud called the "uncannily” familiar. John Zilcosky demonstrates how these popular "uncanny” encounters influenced Freud's - and the literary modernists' - use of the term, and how these encounters remain at the heart of our crosscultural anxieties today.
