The Sexual Politics of Mourning
Mourning Modernism Postmodernism, 2009Co-Authors: Tammy ClewellAbstract:I began Mourning, Modernism, Postmodernism by challenging Lyotard’s influential account of modernist and postmodernist aesthetics. For Lyotard, as we have seen, a concept of finishable Mourning drives his analysis of both. The failure to mourn successfully the master narratives of emancipation, he argues, renders literary modernism a nostalgic discourse. The apparent consistency of modernist form, in his view, offers a consoling substitute for the loss of truth, transcendence, and certainty in the culture of modernity; modernism imposes a unified form on these ruptures, reflecting its inability to abandon fully the epistemological foundations and transcendental securities that it otherwise seeks to challenge. In contrast to modernism, postmodern texts succeed in severing all attachments to the discourses of the past. Postmodernism, in Lyotard’s account, successfully mourns the loss of metanarrative by deflating the truth claims of all discourse, including its own formal constructions. The completion of the work of Mourning, he claims, not only enables the postmodern novel to dismantle the main premises of significant form; this successful Mourning also manages to reveal new but undefinable gaps in our understanding of the world. These gaps, Lyotard concludes, liberate us from the restrictive conformities of consensus and communal identifications, giving rise to what he sees as radically new social possibilities for the future.

Mourning beyond melancholia: Freud's psychoanalysis of loss
Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2004Co-Authors: Tammy ClewellAbstract:Freud's Mourning theory has been criticized for assuming a model of subjectivity based on a strongly bounded form of individuation. This model informs "Mourning and Melancholia" (1917), in which Freud argued that Mourning comes to a decisive end when the subject severs its emotional attachment to the lost one and reinvests the free libido in a new object. Yet Freud revised his Mourning theory in writings concerned with the Great War and in The Ego and the Id (1923), where he redefined the identification process previously associated with melancholia as an integral component of Mourning. By viewing the character of the ego as an elegiac formation, that is, as "a precipitate of abandoned object-cathexes," Freud's later work registers the endlessness of normal grieving; however, it also imports into Mourning the violent characteristics of melancholia, the internal acts of moralized aggression waged in an effort to dissolve the internal trace of the other and establish an autonomous identity. Because it is not immediately clear how Freud's text offers a theory of Mourning beyond melancholy violence, his account of the elegiac ego is shown here to ultimately undermine the wish for an identity unencumbered by the claims of the lost other and the past, and to suggest the affirmative and ethical aspects of Mourning.
