    Die Melancholie hat in nahezu allen Epochen der europäischen Kulturgeschichte ein besonderes Interesse erfahren - unabhängig davon, ob sie als psychophysische Erkrankung, als dauerhafte Charakteranlage oder als transitorische Seelenstimmung betrachtet wurde. Auch Goethe setzt sich in seinem literarischen Werk intensiv mit den unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen der Melancholie auseinander. Bemerkenswert ist dabei vor allem, wie konsequent er auf antike, mittelalterliche und zeitgenössische Melancholiekonzepte zurückgreift, wie exakt er die Protagonisten seiner Dichtungen nach diesen Mustern modelliert und wie umfassend er über die Möglichkeiten einer "melancholiefreien" Existenz nachdenkt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht Goethes Romane von den »Leiden des jungen Werther« über »Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre« bis zu den »Wahlverwandtschaften«; das Singspiel »Lila« sowie die Dramen »Torquato Tasso« und »Faust« vervollständigen das Spektrum. Alle Dichtungen werden im Horizont ihrer jeweils spezifischen Melancholie-Thematik analysiert und einer ebenso differenzierten wie weitausgreifenden Gesamtinterpretation unterzogen. Goethes literarisches Schaffen rückt erstmals in einen psychologischen, philosophischen und medizinischen Problemzusammenhang, der für das späte 18. und frühe 19. Jahrhundert von fundamentaler Bedeutung ist

    The surprising claim of this book is that dwelling on loss is not necessarily depressing. Instead, embracing melancholy can be a road back to contact with others and can lead people to productively remap their relationship to the world around them. Flatley demonstrates that a seemingly disparate set of modernist writers and thinkers showed how aesthetic activity can give us the means to comprehend and change our relation to loss

    "California and the Melancholic American Identity in Joan Didion's Novels: Exiled from Eden focuses on the concept of Californian identity in the fiction of Joan Didion. This identity is understood as melancholic, in the sense that the critics following the tradition of both Sigmund Freud and Walter Benjamin use the word. The book traces the progress of the way Californian identity is portrayed in Joan Didion's novels, starting with the first two in which California plays the central role, Run River and Play It As It Lays, through A Book of Common Prayer to Democracy and The Last Thing He Wanted, where California functions only as a distant point of reference, receding to the background of Didion's interests. Curiously enough, Didion presents Californian history as a history of white settlement, disregarding whole chapters of the history of the region in which the Californios and Native Americans, among other groups, played a crucial role: it is this reticence that the monograph sees as the main problem of Didion's fiction and presents it as the silent center of gravity in Didion's oeuvre. The monograph proposes to see the melancholy expressed by Didion's fiction organized into four losses: of Nature, History, Ethics, and Language; around which the main analytical chapters are constructed. What remains unrepresented and silenced comes back to haunt Didion's fiction, and it results in a melancholic portrayal of California and its identity - which is the central theme this monograph addresses" --

It unflinchingly acknowledges the everyday frustrations and extraordinary horrors that generate despair and argues that the appropriate response to this darkness is to take up joy again, not in an attempt to ignore or dismiss evil, but rather as part of a "melancholic joy" that accepts the mystery of a world that is both beautiful and brutal"--

    Main description: Diese Studie literaturwissenschaftlicher Emotionsforschung widmet sich der Kultivierung sanfter Melancholie, um einer allein repressiven Melancholie der Aufklärung positive Effekte zur Seite zu stellen. Emotionalisierungsstrategien englischer und deutscher Texte zeigen eine Melancholie, die Sprachfähigkeit über Phänomene geben und schließlich emotionale Autonomie bekräftigen konnte Main description: This work of academic literary research on emotion addresses the cultivation of gentle melancholy during the Enlightenment era to indicate its positive effects alongside the primarily repressive melancholy of the times. The emotionalization strategies in English and German texts reveal a kind of melancholy that facilitated the ability to speak about emotional phenomena and ultimately served to strengthen emotional autonomy.

Our goal is to clarify the background of depression by paying attention to its representation through these narratives and revalue them as means of acquiring knowledge in an interdisciplinary way. This is the first time that this well-experienced, diverse, and multidisciplinary group of specialists focused on the study of the antecedents of depression gather to promote a cross-border dialogue in order to overcome the recognized limitations of the current understanding of this topic. This is a pioneering initiative in filling the knowledge gap that still exists concerning the nature of depression from a multidisciplinary perspective that takes into account some cross-cutting narratives. This is the book to which researchers and academics from one end to the other will have to come in order to be updated and clarify their ideas concerning the antecedents of depression according to a wide variety of narratives in the past centuries and the contemporary ones. We want to give a voice to those forgotten manifestations of depression we can find in literature, philosophy, theology, and even early medical works. The Faces of Depression in Literature is for graduates and researchers on depression from a cultural and social point of view, including philosophers, historians, cultural theorists, literature and art experts and enthusiasts, and even artists and writers themselves, specialists in mental health and cognitive psychology, and anyone interested in better understanding human condition"--

    Main description: Diese Studie literaturwissenschaftlicher Emotionsforschung widmet sich der Kultivierung sanfter Melancholie, um einer allein repressiven Melancholie der Aufklärung positive Effekte zur Seite zu stellen. Emotionalisierungsstrategien englischer und deutscher Texte zeigen eine Melancholie, die Sprachfähigkeit über Phänomene geben und schließlich emotionale Autonomie bekräftigen konnte

    Main description: This work of academic literary research on emotion addresses the cultivation of gentle melancholy during the Enlightenment era to indicate its positive effects alongside the primarily repressive melancholy of the times. The emotionalization strategies in English and German texts reveal a kind of melancholy that facilitated the ability to speak about emotional phenomena and ultimately served to strengthen emotional autonomy

    Main description: Goethe setzt sich in seinem literarischen Werk intensiv mit den unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen der Melancholie auseinander. Bemerkenswert ist dabei vor allem, wie differenziert er auf antike, mittelalterliche und zeitgenössische Melancholiekonzepte zurückgreift, wie exakt er die Protagonisten seiner Dichtungen nach diesen Mustern modelliert und wie umfassend er über die Möglichkeiten einer >melancholiefreien< Existenz nachdenkt. Die vorliegende Studie rückt Goethes literarisches Schaffen erstmals in einen kulturhistorischen Problemzusammenhang, der für das späte 18. und frühe 19. Jahrhundert von fundamentaler Bedeutung ist

    Main description: In his literary works Goethe engages profoundly with various manifestations of melancholy. Highly remarkable is the subtlety with which he takes up ancient, medieval, and contemporary concepts of melancholy, the accuracy with which he models the protagonists of his works on these patterns, and the range of his reflections on the possibilities of an existence free of melancholy. The present study is the first to examine Goethe's literary works in the context of a culture-historical problematic of major significance for the late 18th and early 19th century

    Review text: "Valks Dissertation [bietet] nach der Relevanz ihres thematischen Programms und dessen besonnener Umsetzung im Dreischritt von Genese, Symptomatik und Therapie eine bislang entbehrte Überblicksdarstellung, auf die man sich in der Goetheforschung noch oft beziehen wird. In: Zeitschrift für Germanistik 16/2006 "Valks klare Sprachführung, die sich aller terminologischen Manierismen enthält, macht die Lektüre seiner Studie zu einem besonderen Genuß und sollte ihm eine der Bedeutsamkeit seiner Ergebnisse entsprechende große Leserschaft eintragen.0In: Lessing-Yearbook 36/2005 "Valk's study is the first general survey of the theme of melancholy in Goethe's writing. It deserves to be widely read, for its implications are extremely significant. [...] Valk has beaten a path down which others will want to follow him, and if there is much work left to be done, this testifies to the importance of the theme.

    Valk's monograph establishes a framework within which much of Goethe's writing will now have to be seen. In: The Modern Language Review 100/2005 "Cette monographie au titre modeste constituera désormais une référence appréciable pour toute personne désirant étudier la psychologie des personnages et le déroulement des actions dans l'œuvre théâtrale et narrative de Goethe.

    L'auteur présente une analyse nuancée et détaillée de chacune des œuvres traitées (Werther, Tasso, Lila, Lehrjahre, Wahlverwandtschaften, Faust) accompagnée d'un état de la recherche succinct et efficace. In: Etudes Germaniques 60/2005 "Die vorliegende Dissertation - erfreulich konzise und verständlich formuliert - eröffnet eine detaillierte Perspektive auf ein bisher nur punktuell behandeltes Phänomen. In: Monatshefte für deutschsprachige Literatur und Kultur 96/2004 "Die sprachlich elegante, konsequent auf den literarischen Text bezogene Studie führt den Nachweis, daß die Protagonisten der bedeutendsten Werke Goethes im traditionsreichen Horizont der Melancholie zahlreiche Ähnlichkeiten aufweisen. Damit treten erstmals bisher unbeachtete Kontinuitäten und Konstellationen innerhalb des Œuvres ans Licht.

    [...] Valk hat in seiner Studie die Melancholie als Schlüsselkonzept ausgewiesen, das in neuer Weise die Genese der Goetheschen Texte, ihre antimelancholische Intention und damit nicht zuletzt auch ihre erstaunliche Attraktivität im Modernisierungsprozeß verständlich macht.

    This book is a cultural study of the ways men and women in early modern England confronted, accommodated, and paid tribute to mortal life and certain death. Drawing on prose and poetry, painting and statuary, social practices and religious rites, William Engel reopens central questions about Renaissance habits of thought. He explores how the metaphorics of that period signaled and enacted a continual revelation of mortality: the death of the body (figured as a kind of vehicle) and the eternality of the soul (that which was to be transported). Engel argues that early modern metaphorics was essentially mnemonic and emblematic, grounding itself in the relation of body and soul. Building on the work of Benjamin, Heidegger, Derrida, Baudrillard, and Eliade, the book provides contemporary readers with a key for recovering and understanding the critical assumptions underlying a mnemonically oriented principle of aesthetics

    In German Studies the literary phenomenon of melancholy, which has a longstanding and diverse history in European letters, has typically been associated with the Early Modern and Baroque periods, Romanticism, and the crisis of modernity. This association, alongside the dominant psychoanalytical view of melancholy in German memory discourses since the 1960s, has led to its neglect as an important literary mode in postwar German literature, a situation the present book seeks to redress by identifying and analyzing epochal postwar works that use melancholy traditions to comment on German history in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It focuses on five writers - Günter Grass, Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Peter Weiss, W. G. Sebald, and Iris Hanika - who reflect on the legacy of Auschwitz as intellectuals trying to negotiate a relationship to the past based on the stigma of belonging to a perpetrator collective (Grass, Sebald, Hanika) or, broadly speaking, to the victim collective (Weiss, Hildesheimer), in order to develop a melancholy ethics of memory for the Holocaust and the Nazi past. It will appeal to scholars and students of German Studies,Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Cultural Memory, and Holocaust Studies.
