However we can say that, because of the nature of these agreements, spreading these licenses could have been a way for the company to forclose its rivals' traits from the final seed

consumers’ tribes may become, in the future, important segments of consumers generating significant profits for the companies that have succeeded in gaining their preference (Cova, 2003). A company willing to carry out a tribal strategy can act on three sides (Cova and Cova, 2002): come up with products and objects necessary for the life of the tribe, foster the relationships and the communications between members or bring its support to events and sites pertaining to the tribe.

Among many instances, let me mention just two, both of which figure a house as the uncanny object: Lilah (Vera Miles) approaching 'Mrs Bates's' house towards the end of Psycho; and Melanie (Tippi Hedren) approaching Mitch's mother's house in the famous scene from Birds analysed in detail by Raymond Bellour.4 In both cases, the view of the house as seen by the approaching women alternates with the shot of the woman walking towards

grasping the railing with one hand, holding his stomach with the other. A second man followed, the pursuit cautious, his intent violent. He stood bracing himself in the cabin door; he raised a gun and fired again. And again. The man at the railing whipped both his hands up to his head, arching backward under the impact of the fourth bullet. The trawler’s bow dipped suddenly into the valley of two giant waves, lifting the wounded man off his feet; he twisted to his left unable to take his hands away from
