Gothic Metaphysics: (University of Wales Press, 2021) Gothic Metaphysics is a radical departure from Freudian-centered criticism of Gothic literature. It aims to explore our modern dilemma in the time of the Anthropocene, by bringing to light the role of Gothic since its inception in 1764 in holding space for a worldview familiar to certain mystical traditions \u2013 such as alchemy, which held to the view of a living cosmos yet later deemed \u2018uncanny\u2019 and anachronistic by Freud. In developing this idea, Gothic Metaphysics explores the influence of the Middle Ages on the emergence of Gothic, seeing it as an encrypted genre that serves as the site of a \u2018live burial\u2019 of \u2018animism\u2019, which has emerged in the notion of \u2018quantum entanglement\u2019 best described by Carl G. Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli in the theory of synchronicity linking alchemy with quantum mechanics. This relationship finds itself in dialogue with the Gothic\u2019s long-held concern for the \u2018sentience of space and place\u2019, as described by renowned Gothic scholar Fredrick Frank. The volume Gothic Metaphysics is multi-valent and explores how Gothic has sustained the view of a sentient world despite the disqualification of nature \u2013 not only in respect to the extirpation of animism as a worldview, but also with regard to an affirmation of consciousness beyond that of human exceptionalism.<\/p>\n (Description Source: University of Wales Press<\/a>)<\/p>\n Authors <\/em><\/p>\n Jodey Castricano<\/strong> is a professor in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan). \u00a0Research and publication extends to Gothic Studies, Critical Animal Studies and ecofeminism.
