It explores the topic in the dimensions of individual behaviors under specific social norms and cultural products such as literature, film and any other forms of arts/genres, etc. In his 1917 work Mourning and Melancholia (Trauer und Melancholie), Sigmund Freud connected the grief of loss with melancholic emotions which may give rise to acts of mourning. He suggested that “[i]n mourning it is the world which has become poor and empty; in melancholia it is the ego itself” (Freud, 1917: 246). Inspired by Freud’s stance and with the goal of providing up-to-date intellectual resources for academics, researchers and students with ardent interests in the varying exemplifications of grief and melancholy in Sino-Western contexts, the book serves more than a discussion over the pragmatic and ritualistic connections of grief and melancholy in relation to the inner self and the external world. It aims at the pursuit of a contemporary theorization of grief and melancholy beyond its modern limits. 0aPoetry.966137 0aComparative literature. 0aPsycholinguistics.972377 0aClassical literature.967646 0aLiterature, Ancient.967647 0aPragmatics.96911414aPoetry and Poetics.96614124aComparative Literature.24aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics.97237824aClassical and Antique Literature.96765124aPragmatics.9691141 aGarfield Lau, Chi Sum.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9723791 aChan, Kelly Kar Yue.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9723802 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981999820308iPrinted edition:z978981999822708iPrinted edition:z978981999823440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-9821-0  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c58087d58087
