What exactly are the ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’ are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’ both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling.
Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie.
These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Daphne du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christopher Nolan.
用户评论
Fisher在这本小册子里进一步拓展了佛洛依德提出的unheimlich（strangely familiar）描述光谱。U与W&E都是对于“strange”的一种讨论，但W&E相比下是以一种outside in的角度来观察，也很难怪LARB在书评里会提到哈曼（表面分析洛氏，实际阐述OOO）的weird realism。weird其实是一种错位，一种蒙太奇，对不相及东西的拼贴与叠加，一种对于以往认知的打破。eerie的本质则是对agency缺席的追问（所以为什么”不可名状“是怪异而不是瘆人的，我想应该是洛氏给出了古神，所以它是”存在“的，只是发生在了人类身上），与之相比，瘆人是太空漫游里的无声黑色石碑，它没有缘由，没有解释。Fisher分析的过程很有意思，感觉可以作为创作的一个方法论。

根据Mark Fisher的定义，“怪异”（weird）的根源是“不相适的在场”：“怪异为熟悉之物带来了平常超出于它的某物、无法与‘安适’之物相协调的某物。”“阴森”（eerie）的根源则是“缺席的失败或在场的失败”：“要么是在理应无一物之处却有物在场，要么是在理应有物之处却无一物在场。”但“怪异”和“阴森”都不同于弗洛伊德的Unheimlich：若说Unheimlich是熟悉“之中”的陌生，是内部“之内”的外部，那么“怪异”和“阴森”则是“不属于”熟悉的陌生，是绝对的、超验的外部。在这一点上，Mark Fisher与Eugene Thacker所见略同。
