Uncanny Waters Feminist Review (IF 2.816) Pub Date : 2022-04-04 Caroline Emily Rae
In this article, I argue for the notion of what I term ‘uncanny water’ as a conceptual tool for reading contemporary oceanic fictions. The uncanny’s affective capacity to destabilise epistemological and ontological certainties makes it a particularly potent literary tool for challenging the nature/culture binary. I argue that fictions which actively defamiliarise the ocean can be used to redress the

The Philippines is a global leader in deploying microcredit to address poverty. These programmes are usually directed at women.
