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. 606 $aSocial history$y20th century 606 $aLoss (Psychology)$xSocial aspects 606 $aPsychic trauma$xSocial aspects 606 $aMelancholy$xSocial aspects 606 $aMelancholy in literature 615 0$aSocial history 615 0$aLoss (Psychology)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPsychic trauma$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMelancholy$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMelancholy in literature. 676 $a306/.09/04 701 $aEng$b David L.$f1967-$01719851 701 $aKazanjian$b David$f1967-$01719852 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823803703321 996 $aLoss$94118051 997 $aUNINA
