  Melancholia/ae

  The religious experience of the ‘disease of the soul’ and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation

  Il tema della malinconia, nelle sue diverse declinazioni storico-artistiche, mediche, letterarie, filosofiche, psicologiche costituisce l’oggetto di una vasta letteratura. Del resto, lo stesso termine “malinconia” è un termine polisemico, associato storicamente a una grande varietà di gruppi di significati non sempre assimilabili tra loro. Il seminario intende approfondire le diverse valenze semantiche del termine “malinconia” in ambito religioso in età moderna, sia in campo protestante sia in campo cattolico.
