This chapter explores the role of the uncanny as a conceptual lens for understanding experiences of bodily estrangement. It begins with the notion of the unhomely—the literal root of unheimlich—as a disruption of bodily familiarity. Building on this, the chapter reconstructs key theories of the uncanny, focusing on two main models: categorical uncertainty (CU), where an object blurs ontological categories, and violation of expectation (VE), where perceptual predictions fail. These models help explain the cognitive discomfort that uncanny stimuli provoke. However, the chapter argues that the uncanny becomes a mediator of disembodiment when these effects are triggered not by external objects, but by the body itself. In such cases, the body no longer feels like a natural site of presence, but appears strange, fragmented, or other. This experience may be intensified by the surfacing of latent or repressed content, in line with Freud’s account. Through case studies, the chapter shows how the uncanny functions as the affective and perceptual form through which bodily alienation is lived.
