On Mourning : Theories of Loss in Modern Literature pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Since the events of September 11th the problems of loss, mourning and commemoration have preoccupied our culture. Ours is not a culture in mourning so much as a mourning culture. Mourning, and its ethical and communal implications, therefore, is central to an understanding of contemporary western culture and its development in the new millennium.

On Mourning confronts the issue of loss and its commemoration in contemporary writing. William Watkin offers a wide-reaching and challenging overview of the process of mourning in our culture by bringing together work from literary studies, anthropology, psychoanalysis, cultural theory and contemporary philosophy. He provides illuminating readings of contemporary writing practices, revealing how our 'mourning culture' is manifested in traditional elegies, contemporary novels, personal narratives, emotional speech and political rhetoric. Specifically, Watkin considers issues of emotional authenticity, the relationship between commemorative art and the dead body, the psychological impact of loss and our communal responses to the 'otherness' of death.

Overall, the book not only explores the aesthetics of loss in specific written, spoken and visual examples, it also outlines a theory of the ethics of mourning both for individual subjects and communities as a whole. Such a radical reappraisal of the importance of loss and of art will have major implications for literary and cultural studies for years to come.
