This article focuses on some of the major scenes of the uncanny in Ivan Vladislavić’s The Exploded View. It identifies, describes, and connects the multiple registers of the uncanny operative in The Exploded View. It considers these multiple registers of the uncanny as parts of an overarching aesthetic framework discernible in the novel. This aesthetic framework, what we could call Vladislavić’s aesthetic of the uncanny, is discussed with a focus on three constituent and dynamic levels of activity: the formal level (textual repetition), the psychosocial level (“the political uncanny” and psychogeography), and the historical level. The article ultimately makes a case for using the aforementioned levels of the uncanny as productive frames for reading Vladislavić’s novel.

约翰内斯堡漂移:伊万·弗拉迪斯拉维奇的《爆炸图》中不可思议的变化

本文重点介绍伊万·弗拉迪斯拉维奇 (Ivan Vladislavić) 中的一些离奇的主要场景分解图。它识别、描述和连接在分解图。它将这些怪诞的多重记录视为小说中可辨别的总体美学框架的一部分。这个美学框架,我们可以称之为弗拉迪斯拉维奇的怪诞美学,重点讨论了活动的三个构成和动态层面:形式层面(文本重复)、心理社会层面(“政治怪诞”和心理地理学),以及历史水平。这篇文章最终提出了一个案例,将上述的离奇程度作为阅读弗拉迪斯拉维奇小说的富有成效的框架。
