In an age skeptical of history and memory, we relate to the past only as a spectacle, a product to be consumed in the cultural marketplace.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book charts the emergence and development of the problem of mourning in the writings of Freud, Proust, and Freud's successor Lacan. Freud's idea of \"sorrow work\" and Proust's concept of involuntary memory defined the terms of the classic modernist account of mourning in the fields of psychoanalysis and literature. Yet their insistence on the egotistical aspects of loss to the exclusion of all ethical and political considerations threatens the dissolution of the question of mourning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessia Ricciardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804747776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804747776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.94w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1280","brand":"Alessia Ricciardi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981259112703,"sku":"9780804747776","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36fad199-0b36-4825-b25a-7342b6891318.jpg?v=1683254535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ends-of-mourning-alessia-ricciardi-9780804747776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
