  2. "So why do these close-but-no-cigar humanoids freak us out? Here's a hunch: They evoke a fear of death, dying and mortality."

    bingo!

  3. Hi Tom I'm your creative partner for this unit. Brilliant research and analysis of the uncanny. I agree with Phil your final observation is spot on, I didn't even question the reason why humanoids frighten us to the extent they do which is really bad on my part. Great stuff, I will look forward to following your progression on this unit :)

  4. Hi Tom! It's Jackie Hagan here...I am going to be around to support you from now on! :) Not sure if you are in today (Thursday), but I am here until about 1.45, when I have to dash off to the opticians. Maybe you can drop me a quick email if not in- jhagan.s1@ucreative.ac.uk and we can arrange to meet up soon. Also Maxine asked me to remind you to bring in your assessment for her tomorrow. Looking forward to working with you!
