Aynada Melankoli

Rate this book
Bu kitapta Starobinski Batı kültürünün oluşumundaki temellerden biri olan melankoli konusunu yine moderniteyi en iyi anlamış ve ifade etmiş şairi olarak bilinen Charles Baudelaire metinleriyle işliyor.

"Melankoli üç temel konuyu eşzamanlı olarak gözlemlememizi sağlar. Bunlardan ilki Batı'nın din ile ilişkisinde vicdan ve bilinç kavramlarının oluşumunu belirleyen melankolinin kendisi; ikincisi bu önemli konunun Batı modernitisindeki inanç küresine ilişkin temel yapıları haber veren Baudelaire'in, her biri gerçek birer labirent olan şiirlerle örülmüş poetikası; üçüncüsü ve belki de en önemlisi, bu iki konunun incelenmesinde işe yarayacak yöntemin işleyiş biçimi."

About the author

Jean Starobinski

135 books40 followers
Jean Starobinski studied classical literature, and then medicine at the University of Geneva, and graduated from that school with a doctorate in letters (docteur ès lettres) and in medicine. He taught French literature at the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Basel and at the University of Geneva, where he also taught courses in the history of ideas and the history of medicine.

His existential and phenomenological literary criticism is sometimes grouped with the so-called "Geneva School". He has written landmark works on French literature of the 18th century – including works on the writers Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Denis Diderot, Voltaire – and also on authors of other periods (such as Michel de Montaigne). He has also written on contemporary poetry, art, and the problems of interpretation. His books have been translated in dozens of languages.

His knowledge of medicine and psychiatry brought him to study the history of melancholia (notably in the Trois Fureurs, 1974). He was the first scholar to publish work (in 1964) on Ferdinand de Saussure's study of anagrams.

Jean Starobinski is a member of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques (a component of the Institut de France) and other French, European and American learned academies. He has honorary degrees (honoris causa) from numerous universities in Europe and America.

Starobinski'nin Baudelaire şiirlerini melankoli ve spleen kavramı çerçevesinde analiz ettiği bir metin. Konuya ilgi duyanlar için güzel bir kitap. Ayrıca şiir analizlerinin içinde Freud, Marx, Ficino ve daha birçok ismin melankoliye dair düşüncelerine yer verilmiş; birçok ressamın eserleri ile metin zenginleştirilmiş.

"Quando nella nostra percezione il reale non è in grado di valere come tale, diventa necessario dargli un secondo senso, per impedire la dissipazione di ogni senso, e l'intrusione del non senso." (p. 56)
