1. Чёрное солнце. Депрессия и меланхолия
Депрессия и меланхолия
An interdisciplinary exploration of depression and melancholia that blends psychoanalysis, philosophy, and readings of literature and art. It argues that the most devastating forms of despair arise from an unnameable, prelinguistic loss—often linked to the maternal—that fractures language, desire, and the sense of time, manifesting as muteness, self-denigration, and psychic emptiness. Through clinical vignettes and analyses of poets, painters, and novelists, it shows how aesthetic creation can translate unspeakable grief into signification, offering a tenuous path from silence to meaning, and reconceiving melancholia as both a pathology and a distinctive mode of thought and creativity.
