My intention in using the biography of Clarice Lispector is due to the fact that the writer presents characteristics that can be understood as melancholic potential. Thus, it is possible to assume, that Clarice Lispector is melancholic potential herself, due perhaps to a possible libidinal and identificatory history, where there was a premature loss of maternal love, and this caused narcissistic disqualification in its primordial psychic constitution. For this research, delivery of freudian theory and some authors followers of Freud, who contributed to a better understanding of the study of melancholy, as Lucia Maria Violante, Laplanche and Pontalis, among others / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo realizar um estudo sobre a potencialidade melancólica, por meio de uma leitura psicanalítica da biografia de Clarice Lispector. O meu intuito de utilizar a biografia de Clarice Lispector deve-se ao fato de a escritora apresentar características que podem ser compreendidas como potencialidade melancólica. Assim, é possível supor que Clarice Lispector é portadora de uma potencialidade melancólica, que, a partir de uma possível história libidinal e identificatória, houve uma perda prematura do amor materno e, com isso, provocou uma desqualificação narcísica nos momentos primordiais da sua constituição psíquica. Para a realização desta pesquisa, parto da teoria freudiana e de alguns autores seguidores de Freud, que contribuíram para uma melhor compreensão sobre o estudo da melancolia, como Maria Lucia Violante, Laplanche e Pontalis, entre outros

<p>For several decades, researchers have sought to fully understand the nature of the relationship between depression and weight. To date, the research in this area has yielded highly inconsistent results, with some identifying null (Crumpton, Wine, & Groot, 1966; Moore, Stunkard, & Srole, 1962), positive (R. E. Roberts, Kaplan, Shema, & Strawbridge, 2000), negative (Silverstone, 1968; Simon, 1963) and gender specific relationships (DiPietro, Anda, Williamson, & Stunkard, 1992; Istvan, Savela, & Weidner, 1992; Onyike, Crum, Lee, Lyketsos, & Eaton, 2003). The author suggests that these inconsistencies can be explained by the use of measures of depression used which do not differentiate between various subtypes of depression associated with divergent somatic symptoms; including atypical depression (AD) and melancholic depression (MD). Adolescence may be an important intervention point to avert adult obesity and identification of subtypes may identify those at greatest risk. Yet, the characteristics of depression subtypes among adolescents are unknown. In order to identify subtypes of depression among adolescents that are differentially associated with weight, Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was conducted and resulting classes were tested for associations with weight. Six latent classes were identified. Four were uniquely associated with somatic symptoms including hyper- and hypophagia, suggesting that somatic symptoms play an important role in the distinction between depressive subtypes. Analyses showed an association with BMI for the 2 hyperphagic classes but not for the 2 hypophagic classes. The inclusion of depression class improved the fit of regression models for depression predicting BMI. This suggests that the inclusion of depression subtype in analyses may clarify the association between weight and depression.</p> / Dissertation

Les patients atteints de cancer traversent des conditions d’existence extrêmes demandant un cadre spécifique de prise en charge psychothérapique. Le cancer et les soins anticancéreux indispensables, forment pourtant la situation cancéreuse envahie par les logiques processuelles du cancer, violentes. Cette situation peut être un raz de marrée dans la vie d’un sujet, emportant les convictions les plus établies et les bases narcissiques-identitaires et du caractère les plus ancrées. Le sujet présente un risque majeur d’effondrement. De plus, la puissance du traumatisme actuel puise ses racines dans la reviviscence de traumatismes primaires restés jusque là éteints. Leur retour a lieu sous la forme de sensations hallucinatoires induisant des états de corps et des états de perception du monde extérieur psychiquement irreprésentables. Le sujet se vit et s’éprouve alors passivement, sans pouvoir s’affecter véritablement. Mortifères, la pesanteur, l’inertie et la douleur dominent ou au contraire, le sujet se sent à vif, hypersensible, envahi, persécuté, au risque de l’éclatement. Le monde s’articule alors essentiellement sur cette bipolarité que vient recouvrir la défense opératoire radicale de la blancheur. Elle jette son dévolu sur le monde, les relations, les objets, les affects, le corps du sujet. Parfois, rien ne touche ce dernier dont la psyché s’est resserrée autour de son noyau archaïque aux limites psyché-soma. Le cancer éradique la subjectivité, subtilisant le principe actif des logiques de l’originaire. Cet état de mélancolie blanche parfois durable, n’est que l’une des phases d’une processualité mélancolique polymorphe. Cette dynamique domine la vie du sujet selon deux tendances à la proto-mélancolie et à la proto-manie, qui remplacent le monde affectif par une propension à l’inertie ou à la psychomotricité. Le travail de mélancolie vise la relance des capacités d’identification en impasse. Nous allons étudier les modalités spécifiques du transfert et en particulier la mobilisation essentielle d’un transfert formel de base. Il fonctionne à partir de l’activation originaire en double de signifiants formels alors partagés par le thérapeute et son patient. Des mouvements de léthargie et d’excitations psychocorporelles peuvent gagner le clinicien et plonger la relation thérapeutique dans des états crépusculaires, relatifs au cancer et au retour des traumatiques primaires. Nous verrons comment le but premier de la psychothérapie vise l’utilisation psychique – et non l’éradication – de l’objet-cancer, comme moyen de forger les conditions de viabilité du cadre : permettre la mise en représentation des états de corps, rétablir la symbolisation, l’imagination et le recours aux fantasmes inconscients. Ce sont là les bases indispensables d’une psychothérapie auprès des patients atteints de cancer. / Cancer patients experience extreme conditions of existence requiring a specific form of psychotherapy. The cancer and essential anticancer treatments together form the cancerous situation, invaded by the cancer’s violent, processual logic. This situation can constitute a sea change in the subject’s life, sweeping away their most firmly held convictions and the most deeply rooted foundations of their narcissistic identity and character. The subject is at major risk of suffering a breakdown. In addition, the ‘actual’ trauma draws strength from the revival of primary traumas up until now extinguished. Their return takes the form of hallucinatory sensations producing states of body and perception of the external world psychologically unrepresentable. The subject sees and experiences themself passively, without really being capable of feeling affected. Deadly dullness, inertia and pain dominate or, on the contrary, the subject feels vividly alive, hypersensitive, invaded and persecuted, at the risk of bursting. The world essentially revolves around this bipolarity, which the radical operational defence system covers in whiteness. It throws its mantle over the world, relationships, objects, affects and the subject’s body. Sometimes nothing can touch the subject at all, and their psyche is reduced to its archaic core, at the edge of psyche-soma. The cancer eradicates subjectivity, steeling away the active principle of primal logic. This sometimes lasting state of white melancholy is but one phase in a polymorphic melancholic processuality. This force dominates the subject’s life, with a tendency either to proto-melancholy or proto-mania, which replace the affective world by a propensity to inertia or psychomotricity. The aim of melancholy work is to revive the deadlocked capacity for identification. We will examine the specific use of transference and, in particular, the key implementation of a basic formal transference. This works based on the dual primal activation of formal signifiers shared by the therapist and their patient. The therapist may be subject to motions of lethargy and psychocorporal excitations, plunging the therapeutic relationship into crepuscular states, relative to the cancer and to the return of primary traumas. We will look at how the principle aim of psychotherapy is the psychological use, and not eradication, of the cancer object, as a means of forging the conditions rendering the therapeutic context feasible: allow the representation of states of body, restore symbolisation, imagination and recourse to unconscious fantasy. Together, these form the essential basis of psychotherapy for cancer patients.

The aim of this thesis is to provide a close reading and a philosophical and anthropological interpretation of Burton's understanding of the concept of melancholy (as well as the concept of the human being and the world) as it is presented in his work ​The Anatomy of Melancholy​. The primary objective will be gradually to respond to the following questions: How did Burton perceive the concept of melancholy? How did he make use of it within his notion of ​the melancholic world​? Based on this, his vision of a remedy to the melancholic disease afflicting the whole world, together with the form of this treatment presented in The Anatomy of Melancholy will be thereafter shown and explained. This task will be preceded by an analysis situated on the edge between the history of ideas and intellectual history, cultural history, and philosophical anthropology with a small overlap with the history of mentalities. This analysis will firstly reveal the diversity and rich history of the concept of melancholy and, subsequently, open up the intellectual milieu and ideas which form the basis of Burton's notion of the problem of the melancholic world and its treatment. This thesis, especially in its final part, will rely on a contextual reading of ​The Anatomy of Melancholy​. In order to acquire an overall...

[pt] O objetivo desta tese é mostrar como uma situação emocional depressiva / melancólica (o mundo interior em ruínas), bem como o mundo interior, emocional, não organizado ou não pensado se transforma em canção: que fatores emocionais da personalidade do poeta são articulados em um dado momento e num determinado contexto, levando-o ou compelindo-o ao processo de criação poética. Usaremos, como ponto de partida, o que os poetas, como Manuel Bandeira, Dante Milano, João Cabral de Melo Neto, Poe, Gilberto Mendonça Teles, Jorge Luiz Borges e T. S. Eliot escreveram ou disseram em entrevistas sobre a criação ou construção do poema ou da obra de arte literária. No estudo que estou apresentando, a arte é entendida da maneira como Susanne Langer a formulou em Sentimento e forma: Arte é a criação de formas simbólicas do sentimento humano. O processo criador da arte pode ser visto, também, como uma forma simbólica pela qual a consciência organiza e expressa a experiência emocional. A arte emerge de um desejo intrinsicamente humano - a necessidade de forma. O foco da tese incide no processo criativo, na tensão entre a ruína emocional ou o caos interior e os recursos lingüísticos empregados pelo poeta na sua ordenação. Subjacente à desintegração ou não- integração psíquica existe um nível profundo que busca a ordem e que dá forma ao caos emocional. O artista deve operar sobre sua experiência, senti-la intensamente, mas simultaneamente separar-se reflexivamente dela; separar o sujeito que sofre a experiência da mente que pensa e cria a obra de arte. Tendo isto em pauta, a tese apresenta um viés psicológico. / [en] This dissertation aims to show how an emotional situation of the depressivemelancholic type (the inner world in ruins) is transformed into poetry; how emotional factors of a poet`s personality are organized in a given moment and in a given context leading or compelling him to the process of poetic creation. Poets like Manuel Bandeira, Dante Milano, João Cabral de Melo Neto, Poe, Gilberto Mendonça Teles, T. S. Eliot and Jorge Luis Borges are taken as starting points.In this study, art is understood as Susanne Langer proposed in Feeling and form: Art is the creation of symbolic forms of human feeling. Art`s creative process can also be seen as a symbolic form whereby conscience organizes and expresses the emotional experience. The focus of this thesis converges on the creative process, in the tension between the emotional ruin and the linguistic resources employed by the poet in organizing his interior chaos. Underlying the psychological desintegration or non-integration, there is a deep layer that demands order and shapes the emotional chaos. The poet must act on the basis of his experience, feel it intensely but, at the same time move away from it in a reflexive way; he must separate the subject who suffers the experience from the mind who thinks and creates the poem. Bearing this in mind, the study displays a strongly psychological colour.

Religieuse, fondatrice, mystique, docteure de l’Église catholique, et auteur de textes autobiographiques, doctrinaux, épistolaires et poétiques, Sainte Thérèse d’Avila (1515-1582) est l’une des personnalités majeures de la littérature mystique du Siècle d’Or espagnol. Profondément observatrice de la nature humaine, elle a écrit avec une simplicité profonde sur la maladie mélancolique, un trouble des humeurs qui a vraiment affecté la société de cette époque attirant l’intérêt des médecins, philosophes et religieux. Ce mémoire examine à la lumière d’une perspective interdisciplinaire le traitement de la mélancolie dans la littérature thérésienne dans le cadre des idées exposées dans les textes Vida (1562-65), Las moradas (1577) et Fundaciones (1573-1582), appuyées de cas concrets décrits dans les lettres de Thérèse et le livre Procesos de beatificación y canonización de Santa Teresa de Jesús. La première partie expose un survol sur certains traits de la mélancolie conçus dans la pensée occidentale antique et médiévale ainsi que ses influences reformulées par la société espagnole des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Ensuite, il est proposé un dialogue entre Thérèse et le discours de plusieurs textes médicaux, suivi des rapports complémentaires entre ses déclarations et quelques œuvres ascétiques et mystiques d’autres auteurs catholiques de cette période. La deuxième partie fournit l’analyse des mots clés utilisés par l’écrivaine pour décrire la mélancolie ainsi que des considérations naturelles et préternaturelles autour de cette maladie. Finalement, ce travail présente la systématisation de ses causes, symptômes et souffrances, types de mélancoliques et formes de traitement. / Religious, founder, mystic, doctor of the Catholic Church, Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) was a relevant figure during the Spanish Golden Age. Her writings include autobiographical, doctrinal, epistolary and poetic texts. Being a deep observer of human nature, Teresa wrote with deep simplicity about melancholy which was a disease caused by a humor’s disorder that greatly affected society at that time. This fact drew the attention of physicians, philosophers and religious authors. This Master’s thesis examines the treatment of melancholy in Teresa’s literature from an interdisciplinary perspective in the framework of the ideas exposed in Vida (1562-65), Las moradas (1577) and Fundaciones (1573-1582), complemented by some cases described in her letters and in the book Procesos de beatificación y canonización de Santa Teresa de Jesús. The first part exposes a general overview of certain features of melancholy according to the ancient and medieval Western thought, as well as its influences, which were reformulated by the Spanish society during 16th and 17th centuries. Afterwards, this study proposes a dialogue between Teresa and some medical writing’s discourse, followed by complementary connections between her statements and some ascetic and mystical works of other catholic authors of this time. The second part provides an analysis of the keywords used by the writer for describing melancholy as well as some natural and preternatural considerations about this illness. Finally, this work presents a systematization of its causes, symptoms and sufferings, types of melancholic persons and healing treatment variations. / Religiosa, fundadora, mística, doctora de la Iglesia Católica y autora de textos autobiográficos, doctrinales, epistolares y poéticos, Santa Teresa de Jesús (1515-1582) fue una de las personalidades más sobresalientes del Siglo de Oro. Siendo una gran observadora de la naturaleza humana, escribió con simplicidad profunda sobre la enfermedad melancólica, un trastorno humoral que afectaba seriamente la sociedad de su tiempo y atrajo la atención de médicos, filósofos y religiosos. Esta memoria examina a través de una perspectiva interdisciplinaria el tratamiento de la melancolía en la literatura teresiana en el marco de las ideas expuestas en Vida (1562-65), Las moradas (1577) y Fundaciones (1573-1582), complementados por algunos casos concretos descritos en sus cartas y en el libro Procesos de beatificación y canonización de Santa Teresa de Jesús. La primera parte expone un panorama sobre ciertos rasgos de la melancolía según el pensamiento antiguo y medieval así como sus influencias reformuladas por la sociedad española de los siglos XVI y XVII. Posteriormente, este estudio propone un diálogo entre Teresa y el discurso de varios textos médicos, seguido de las relaciones de complementariedad entre sus afirmaciones y algunas obras ascéticas y místicas de otros autores católicos de ese periodo. La segunda parte plantea un análisis de palabras clave utilizadas por la escritora para describir la melancolía, así como algunas consideraciones naturales y preternaturales respecto a esta enfermedad. Finalmente, este trabajo presenta una sistematización acerca de las causas, síntomas y padecimientos, tipos de melancólicos y formas de tratamiento.
