Le discours mélancolique
À partir de la clinique et du type particulier de discours qu'offre le sujet mélancolique, l'ouvrage présente les interrogations essentielles que suscite toujours la mélancolie en termes d'étiologie et de classification. Il permet d'aborder la spécificité de la prise en charge d'une telle affection et les modes d'organisation psychiques qui peuvent en résulter. L'ouvrage traite du vaste tableau des états dépressifs parmi lesquels la mélancolie retient toujours l'intérêt, et ceci pour deux raisons principales : d'une part à cause de la séduction qu'elle continue d'exercer au plan existentiel, à travers les raisonnements pseudo-philosophiques dont elle s'enveloppe et dans lesqu...
Le discours mélancolique
À partir de la clinique et du type particulier de discours qu'offre le sujet mélan-colique, l'ouvrage présente les interrogations essentielles que suscite toujours la mélancolie en termes d'étiologie et de classification. Il permet d'aborder la spécificité de la prise en charge d'une telle affection et les modes d'organisation psy-chiques qui peuvent en résulter. L'ouvrage traite du vaste tableau des états dépressifs parmi lesquels la mélancolie retient toujours l'intérêt, et ceci pour deux raisons principales : d'une part à cause de la séduction qu'elle continue d'exercer au plan existentiel, à travers les raisonnements pseudo-philosophiques dont elle s'enveloppe et dans lesquels chacun se reconnaît en partie, et d'autre part à cause de la discussion qu'elle ne manque jamais de provoquer quant à la structure psychique dont elle dépend au plan psychiatrique comme au plan psychanalytique. C'est toujours et encore une grande question sujette à controverses dans ces pratiques et ces disciplines. La conclusion de l'ouvrage répond précisément à cette question de structure et en déploie les arguments.

Beckett, Lacan and the Gaze
Forming a pair with the voice, the gaze is a central structuring element of Samuel Beckett’s creation. And yet it takes the form of a strangely impersonal visual dimension testifying to the absence of an original exchange of gazes capable of founding personal identity and opening up the world to desire. The collapse of conventional reality and the highlighting of seeing devices—eyes, mirrors, windows—point to the absence of a unified representation. While masks and closed spaces show the visible to be opaque and devoid of any beyond, light and darkness, spectres—manifestations without origin—reveal a realm beyond the confines of identity, where nothing provides a mediation with the...
Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe
Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe is a groundbreaking collection of original essays that explore the relation between Samuel Beckett and catastrophe in terms of war, the Holocaust, nuclear disasters and ecological crisis. Responding to the post-catastrophic situations in the twentieth century, Beckett created characters who often seem to have been through an unknown catastrophe. Although the importance of catastrophe in Beckett has been noted sporadically, there has been no substantial attempt to discuss his aesthetics and work in relation to it. This collection will therefore serve as the first sustained study to explore the theme of catastrophe in Beckett and will be a highly significant contribution to Beckett studies.

The Flight of Events
The Flight of Events, the second book of a Psychopathology of Melancholia Series, after Manie, mélancolie et facteurs blancs (Beauchesne, Paris, 2009), is a work on altruistic anguishes in manic-depressive suicides. In this book, German Arce Ross has chosen to focus on the psychological processes that occur prior to the act of suicide, rather than on the act itself. We can detect these processes in a subject during the period between the decision to commit suicide and the passage to the act. In the consideration of certain moments preceding a suicidal or criminal act, in the case of critical episodes that are non-delusional, non-hallucinated and non-acted but sometimes assimilated to psycho...
States of Decadence
States of Decadence is a two volume anthology that focuses on the literary and cultural phenomenon of decadence. Particular attention is given to literature from the end of the 1800s, the fin de siècle; however, the essays presented here are not restricted to this historical period, but draw lines both back in time and forward to our day to illuminate the contradictory multiplicity inherent in decadence. Furthermore, the essays go beyond literary studies, drawing on a number of the tropes and themes of decadence manifested in the arts and culture, such as in music, opera, film, history, and even jewelry design. Volume 2 comprises essays on the following thematic areas: “Images of Decadent Women”, “Transmedia Decadence”, “Contemporary Decadence”, and “Poetic Decadence”. The contributors are part of an active network of international scholars from many different countries. As the expansive title of the volume suggests, they explore the decadent aesthetic approach to the arts, to culture, and to a worldview that juxtaposes a strange mixture of conservatism and rebellion, ambivalence and deep convictions.
