Abstract:

W dziejach sztuki melancholia przeszła długą drogę od bycia nazwą chorej duszy pojedynczego człowieka, przez uczynienie jej obrazowania zapisem reakcji na rozpad metafizycznych podstaw świata, aż do odszukania jej źródła w zbrodniach ludzkości na samej sobie i przeczuciu apokaliptycznej katastrofy. W miedziorycie przedstawienie melancholii Dürera obrazowało rozterki artysty, który zwątpił skuteczność swojej sztuki, nawet gdy wspierana jest geometrią czy alchemią. W akwaforcie Salvatora Rosy wizerunek pogrążenia się w beznadziejnym smutku jest tożsamy ze stanem ducha obserwat

From melancholy to despair. About Andrzej Stasiuk’s prose worksIn Moja Europa, Jadąc do Babadag and Fado Andrzej Stasiuk describes his travelling to the countries of the East-Central Europe: its diminished, forgotten part, lying on the margins of History and Progress. It is a land of melancholy, of the eternal emptiness and lack. To praise it means to give an ironic response to the enthusiasm of a “return to the West”, to the attempts to meet East-European stigma and to the West’s fear of East-European ferocity. What is the source of this melancholy? Stasiuk refers to Cioran, his philosophy of

Abstract:

This essay analyzes the presence of the modern concept of melancholy in the Intercenales (1424-1439) by the humanist Leon Battista Alberti. The Intercenales is a collection of satirical, allegorical and moralizing writings composed with the purpose of entertaining an audience of close friends. In spite of the fact that the term "melancholia" does not appear in the text, this paper argues that Alberti's character of “the philosopher” is melancholic, since he is "ill in the soul" (suffering from morbus animi), and his illness is evidenced by a series of physical and psychological sym

According to recent appraisals, despite its pathological aspects, melancholy can be a psychological impetus for spiritual creativity and utopianism. Drawing on those appraisals, this article examines some religious implications of mourning and melancholy in novels of Yoon Dae-nyeong and Kim Hoon in the context of Korean society in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Firstly, Yoon Dae-nyeong’s early works depict an intense sense of loss arising from the compressed pace of Korean modernity, and, throughout religious imagery, they express an aspiration for spiritual renewal.

Abstract Since late antiquity, a connection was made between Jews and the psychological state of despondency based, in part, on the link between melancholy and Saturn, and the further association of the Hebrew name of that planet, Shabbetai, and the Sabbath. The melancholic predisposition has had important anthropological, cosmological, and theological repercussions. In this essay, I focus on various perspectives on melancholia in thinkers as diverse as Kafka, Levinas, Blanchot, Rosenzweig, Benjamin, Bloch, Scholem, and Derrida.

I offer a re-evaluation of Freudian melancholy by reading it in-conjunction with Merleau-Ponty’s analysis of phantom limbs and Marcel Proust’s involuntary memories.

Through Merleau-Ponty’s analysis of the phantom limb, I emphasize that the melancholic subject remains affectively bound to a past world. While this can be read as problematic insofar as the subject is attuned to both the possibilities that belong to the present and the impossibilities that belong to the past world, I turn to Prous

This perception here is taken as a starting point for an interpretation of that symphony in terms of the 18th-century notion of melancholy as noble suffering of princes, intellectuals, and artists.

Abstract:

Nineteenth-century art historian John Addington Symonds coined the term hæmatomania (blood madness) for the extremely bloodthirsty behaviour of a number of disturbed rulers like Ibrahim II of Ifriqiya (850–902) and Ezzelino da Romano (1194–1259). According to Symonds, this mental pathology was linked to melancholy and caused by an excess of black bile. I explore the historical credibility of this theory of ‘wild melancholy’, a type of melancholia that crucially deviates from the lethargic main type. I conclude that in its pure form Symonds’ black bile theory of hæmatomania was never a broadly

Abstract:

Through a mixed-methods lens that pairs computational sentiment analysis with historical literary criticism, this paper investigates the complex relationship between emotional expression and socio-cultural context in Victorian literature. Centralizing the inescapable theme of melancholy, the study analyzes a representative corpus of Victorian texts through modern text-mining techniques—namely, application of sentiment lexicons, tokenization, and normalization. The session explores some fundamental aspects of the spatial and temporal dynamics of melancholic expressions with the help of digital

Abstract:

In violent and visceral imagery, Warsan Shire’s poem, “Home,” documents the diasporic melancholia at the heart of losing a space and place of home. In conversation with Sara Ahmed’s The Promise of Happiness and Sigmund Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia,” my paper examines the melancholic orientation of home as a radical political tool for unearthing the concealment of colonial histories. As Freud’s seminal text argues, mourning lapses into an unhealthy state of melancholia when the subject holds on to the object of loss. For the melancholy migran

[Signs on Black Canvas, or Charles Baudelaire’s Aesthetics of Transient Beauty and Creative Melancholy] This article focuses on Charles Baudelaire’s poetics of negativity which exploits absence, blackness, negation, defectiveness, associated by the poet in a paradigmatic way with melancholy and the aesthetics of transient beauty. The basis of the proposed interpretation is the paradoxical metaphor of luminous blackness (a black sun, a radiance without source, a black star, a black canvas), which the poet exploits in his metatextual works. The paper focuses on poems in which Baudelaire approach

Abstract:

Abstract Reading Olga Kirsch’s Afrikaans poetry, one is struck by the important role that the experience of loss occupies in her oeuvre. It is evident in the first two volumes of poetry she published while still living in South Africa, as well as in the five volumes she published after emigrating to Israel in 1948. Because her poetry, especially the volumes written in Israel, exudes an air of melancholy, this article uses Freud’s writings on loss, mourning and melancholia, as well as the historical tradition preceding his work, as a guideline in exploring the way in which the experience of los
