{"product_id":"black-sun-depression-and-melancholia-9780231214537","title":"Black Sun: Depression and Melancholia","description":"Julia Kristeva examines melancholia across art, literature, philosophy, the history of religion and culture, and psychoanalysis. She describes the depressive as one who perceives the sense of self as a crucial pursuit and a nearly unattainable goal and explains how the love of a lost identity of attachment lies at the very core of depression's dark heart. Kristeva analyzes Holbein's controversial 1522 painting \u003ci\u003eThe Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb\u003c\/i\u003e and considers the works of Marguerite Duras, Dostoyevsky, and Nerval. \u003ci\u003eBlack Sun\u003c\/i\u003e takes the view that depression is a discourse with a language to be learned, rather than strictly a pathology to be treated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Kristeva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e European Perspectives: A Social Thought and Cultural Criticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231214537","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42440382152841,"sku":"9780231214537","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b656394d-abb5-49c5-aeae-34dee2774b19.jpg?v=1716238192","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/black-sun-depression-and-melancholia-9780231214537","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
