Learning outcomes
The relation between artistic creation and melancholy will be the object of the course. Under an aesthetical point of view, melancholy – which is a mournful representation of a lost and irretrievable object – is an expression of the Absolute’s nostalgia which art often originates.
Preliminary lessons will be dedicate to a general analysis of the several traditions joined to melancholy in different fields (philosophy, medicine, astrology, literature, art) from Aristotle to medieval culture and humanism.
But is only in XIX century that relation between melancholy and artistic creation becomes really crucial, as we shall see in the course’s following part dedicated to Leopardi and Baudelaire. Into their works – from different but complementary points of view – these two poets show clearly how closely connected, in modern world, are melancholy’s mourning toil and the labour from which artistic work arises.
