La Melancolía Creativa / The Creative Melancholy [Spanish]

By Jess Ramrez Bermudez and Jesús Ramírez Bermudez

Book Overview

Somos el lienzo de la melancol?a: en buena parte devenimos el resultado de nuestras nostalgias y anhelos, de la lucha entre lo que quisimos ser y la conciencia de lo que realmente somos. Y este no es un fen?meno ?nicamente individual.

La melancol?a atraviesa la historia de Occidente: es un s?mbolo de la desilusi?n y el sufrimiento; un signo cr?tico que indica el desenlace de los disturbios colectivos y las limitaciones de todo esfuerzo civilizatorio. Pero tambi?n es un punto de partida de la traves?a art?stica. Este ensayo establece puentes entre la historia de la psiquiatr?a, la narrativa cl?nica y la neurociencia para investigar los mecanismos ocultos de la creatividad y sus v?nculos con la melancol?a.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

We are a canvas for melancholy. In good measure we become the result of our longings and yearnings, of the struggle between what we wanted to be and the conscience of what we are. This is not a purely individual phenomenon.

Longing pierces Western history, it is a symbol of disillusionment and suffering, a critical sign that points to the conclusion of collective disturbances and limitations in every civilizing effort. But it is also a starting point in artistic journeys. This essay builds bridges between the history of psychiatry, clinical narrative, and neuroscience to investigate the hidden mechanisms of creativity and its connections with melancholy.
