About this document
Mourning, Melancholia, and Depression by Eunbit Yi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes and reviews a book by Darian Leader called "The New Black" about mourning, melancholia, and depression. The review makes several key points: 1) Leader provides a critical analysis of modern concepts of depression and returns to older concepts of mourning and melancholia. 2) Western societies often repress the idea of "lack" associated with loss, leading to increased psychological torment. 3) Literature is one of the only places where themes of loss and lack can be openly discuss
