    Consagrado a la escritura del uruguayo Julio Herrera y Reissig (1875-1910), este libro convierte la obra herreriana en un caso paradigmático para volver críticamente la mirada a la época modernista hispanoamericana. En un esfuerzo que es a la vez crítico y poético, Julio Herrera y Reissig redefine la labor literaria a la manera de un incesante trabajo sobre la historia y la tradición que, reactivando en su presente el pensamiento medieval y renacentista sobre la melancolía, aboca hacia el planteamiento de una personal visión del campo cultural hispanoamericano que resulta en una oposición radical a la de los protagonistas del Modernismo

    On creaturely life -- The vicissitudes of melancholy -- Toward a natural history of the present -- On the sexual life of creatures and other matters

    In his Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke suggests that animals enjoy direct access to a realm of being--the open--concealed from humans by the workings of consciousness and self-consciousness. In his own reading of Rilke, Martin Heidegger reclaims the open as the proper domain of human existence but suggests that human life remains haunted by vestiges of an animal-like relation to its surroundings. Walter Benjamin, in turn, was to show that such vestiges--what Eric Santner calls the creaturely--have a biopolitical aspect: they are linked to the processes that inscribe life in the realm of power an

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"--

    Archaïsmes et pittoresques de la mélancolie -- Mesure et démesure d'un imaginaire mélancolique -- Mélancolie et altéité -- Conclusion

    La mélancolie porte en elle l'héritage d'une très longue histoire, qui aura traversé de multiples champs de la culture : médecine de l'âme et du corps, arts et littérature, philosophie, religion ... L'imaginaire de Samuel Beckett, son esthétique aussi, n'ont eu de cesse de se confronter à toutes ces facettes de la mélancolie, de se jouer d'elles, de les réinventer. Comment, pour le génie mélancolique, mieux cerner le mal qu'en l'abordant de manière détournée, par le biais de ceux qui avant lui le rencontrèrent ou tentèrent de percer son obscurité - tels Démocrite, Dürer, Robert Burton?

    "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"--
