Such a perspective, these essays suggest, engages and reanimates history. Plumbing the cultural and political implications of loss, the authors--political theorists, film and literary critics, museum curators, feminists, psychoanalysts, and AIDS activists--expose the humane and productive possibilities in the workings of witness, memory, and melancholy. Among the sites of loss the authors revisit are slavery, apartheid, genocide, war, diaspora, migration, suicide, and disease. Their subjects range from the Irish Famine and the Ottoman slaughter of Armenians to the aftermath of the Vietnam War and apartheid in South Africa, problems of partial immigration and assimilation, AIDS, and the re-envisioning of leftist movements. In particular, Loss reveals how melancholia can lend meaning and force to notions of activism, ethics, and identity.Social history20th centuryLoss (Psychology)Social aspectsPsychic traumaSocial aspectsMelancholySocial aspectsMelancholy in literatureaids.anthology.apartheid.culture of grief.diaspora.disease.ethics.feminists.film critics.genocide.grief.history.human condition.identity.irish famine.life lessons.literary critics.memory.migration.mourning.nonfiction essays.ottoman slaughter.overcoming loss.personal journey.political activists.political issues.political theorists.psychology of loss.realistic.slavery.social politics.suicide.tragic.vietnam war.warfare.witness.Social historyLoss (Psychology)Social aspects.Psychic traumaSocial aspects.MelancholySocial aspects.Melancholy in literature.306/.09/04Eng David L.1967-1577625Kazanjian David1967-1577626MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783039703321Loss3856414UNINA
