Very often nowdays we are exposed to different kinds of diffuse traumatism more than to well defined traumatic events, with deep consequences on both individual and collective struc-tures. In these situations it’s very difficult working through the traumatic experiences just be-cause they become really uncanny, crossing the border between familiar and unfamiliar. Start-ing from Freud’s works on trauma and the uncanny, we examine the subjectivation’s path-ways in our times, their specific difficulties in recognizing the Other and their need of resort-ing to various kinds of “doubles”, which are always really uncanny.
Keywords: uncanny, trauma, identity, double, stranger/foreign.
