Tillfälligt slut
In the last decade, the so called «spatial turn» has produced a broad discussion of space and spatiality in the social sciences, in architecture and art, as well as in philosophy, and also in literary criticism. The book focuses on one aspect largely ignored by literary historians as well as by theorists/historians of space, that is, the constitutive interrelationship of space and emotions. Departing from a dynamic concept of space as the result of human activities and perceptions, combined with the phenomenological concept of space possessing a specific atmosphere, we wish to initiate a discussion of the specific emotional and atmospheric qualities of «heterotopias» in the Foucaultian sense, or « non-lieux » as described by Marc Augé.
Morbidity of Culture
Melancholy, Trauma, Illness and Dying in Literature and Film
Häftad, Engelska, 2012
452 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The essay collection focuses on morbid phenomena such as melancholy, trauma, illness and death which engage with questions of «cultural vitality» and «cultural mortality». The figurations and representations of social pathologies not only display time in its existential drama, but furthermore show a paradox inherent to processes of decay: in passing lies a certain accumulation of life. Thus the morbid indicates the presence of the living, although it intentionally prefigures death. The collection points to the complex interconnections of social, medical and cultural discourses and assumes the seemingly negative of the morbid presence to be the constitutive element of the imagination and a catalyst for individual empowerment. As a source of life and art, the morbid then equally locates the point of intersection between ethics and aesthetics.
