Overview
Somos el lienzo de la melancolía: 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 fenómeno únicamente individual.
La melancolía atraviesa la historia de Occidente: es un símbolo de la desilusión y el sufrimiento; un signo crítico que indica el desenlace de los disturbios colectivos y las limitaciones de todo esfuerzo civilizatorio. Pero también es un punto de partida de la travesía artística. Este ensayo establece puentes entre la historia de la psiquiatría, la narrativa clínica y la neurociencia para investigar los mecanismos ocultos de la creatividad y sus vínculos con la melancolía.
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.
