Modernism and Melancholia
ISBN: 9780199977956 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modernism and melancholia share an intellectual fate: being at once categories, conditions, discourses, modes of expression, and social projects, they feed on their own ambiguity. But modernism and melancholia also share a history: it was in the cultural-historical period we tentatively term "modernism" that a fundamental shift in our understanding of melancholia occurred. What is, then, the relationship between modernism and melancholia? How does it relate to the history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century? What is the social value of the associated cluster of symbolic rituals...

It furthermore examines why Russian writers are venerated, how...
