A) I found it interesting the way that Nathanael reacts to the fact that Olimpia is a cyborg. The way everyone else also reacts is also very interesting. That they were accepting of her, until they knew of her inhumanity is a great display of hindsight. In both of them I found the discussion of automation and automatons interesting, in that those are some of the few robots we currently have, and how we never really think about them.
B) Simulacra - A substitute based on an original
Homunculus - Articificial human, created to serve as a simulacra
The Uncanny -
C) Why did Hoffmann attach such significance to eyes?
What was the significance of the change in the way men were talking to women in the end of Der Sandmann?
I found these readings much easier to comprehend. They weren’t as bogged down in jargon as the first couple were.
