«El duelo, ese ángel nocturno» : Melancolía de la ausencia, de J.-J. Surin a D. Lynch
Antoni Gonzalo Carbó
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractThe body (mystic) as a bottomless hole. So radical is the ascetic annihilation, which could be confused with the melancholic annihilation. Mystical knowledge is a knowledge of mourning, for its own vocation of ruin. Pierre Fédida has pointed out that psyché appears before the vision of the melancholic, not as the soul or vital breath, but as an empty body that occupies the place of absence. Going to «throw oneself» to the other is to mourn the place itself, to consent to this loss: of the cyclothymic mystic Jean-Joseph Surin, and his suicidal body precipitated through the window («Saint Ignace même à Manrèse était sur le point de se précipiter»), to the bodies-of-perdition of the prostitutes of Hollywood Blvd (LA), of erratic circular motion and ecstatic eye-shine, of the final cinematographic scene of More Things That Happened (2007) by David Lynch. We analyse the states of nostalgia and melancholy in the context of the twentieth century through the beautiful expression of Michel de Certeau: «theology of the ghost». The absent one who is neither in heaven nor on earth, lives in the region of a third strangeness (neither one nor the other). His «death» has placed him in this entre-two. As an approximation, this is the region that our mystical authors point out to us today. In fact, these authors of the past introduce into our present the language of a «nostalgia» linked to that other land. They create and protect a place like the saudade, a longing for the homeland. The «missing» inhabits the house spectrally. In this sense, the mystique will be for Michel de Certeau narration of a loss and –with the addition of a Lacanian «direction»– enunciation of a desiderium, the nostalgia of the absent as desire for his return. Mysticism, that nostalgia.
