Jentsch y Freud, sobre lo siniestro en el mundo artificial Sandrone, Darío Unheimlich Jentsch Freud Automata Artefacts Unheimlich Jentsch Freud Autómatas Artefactos In this article we are interested in analysing the counterpoint between Ernst Jentsch and Sigmund Freud around the concept of the unheimlich. We are interested in exploring the concept of unheimlich, not in itself, nor in its relevance as a theoretical concept for psychoanalysis, but as the effect of an encounter with expressive artificial beings, something that both Jentsch and Freud discuss. Our long-term aim is to use this debate as an input to address the link between humans and increasingly widespread robotic entities, within the framework of a "psychology of technicity". With this in mind, we are interested in cutting out, emphasising and analysing what these two authors refer to as the psychic relationship that humans establish with artefacts when they acquire human forms, functions or expressions. Finally, we propose to establish a comparison between a scientistic and cognitivist version of the human-artefact link (Jentsch’s) and a mythological and psychoanalytical view (Freud’s), with the aim of extrapolating this tension to contemporary phenomena in an informational cyberanimist scenario. En el presente artículo nos interesa analizar el contrapunto entre Ernst Jentsch y Sigmund Freud alrededor del concepto de unheimlich. Nos interesa explorar el concepto de unheimlich, no en sí mismo, ni en su relevancia como concepto teórico para el psicoanálisis, sino como efecto de un encuentro con seres artificiales expresivos, algo que tanto Jentsch como Freud analizan. Nuestro objetivo a largo plazo es utilizar este debate como insumo para abordar el vínculo entre humanos y entidades robóticas cada vez más difundidas, en el marco de una “psicología de la tecnicidad”. En función de eso, nos interesa recortar, enfatizar y analizar lo que en estos dos autores se refiere a la relación psíquica que los humanos establecen con los artefactos, cuando estos adquieren formas, funciones o expresiones humanas. Nos proponemos, finalmente, establecer una comparación entre una versión cientificista y cognitivista del vínculo humano-artefacto (propia de Jentsch) y una mirada mitológica y psicoanalítica (propia de Freud), con el objetivo de extrapolar esa tensión a fenómenos contemporáneos en un escenario cyberanimista informacional.
