spelling I15-R206-article-5522022-04-01T21:44:10Z Notes on the Ancient and the Ancients in Melancholia, by Jackie Pigeaud Apuntes sobre lo Antiguo y los Antiguos en Melancholia, de Jackie Pigeaud Coria, Marcela These "notes" were read on the occasion of the presentation of the Spanish translation of Melancholia. Le malaise de l'individu, by Jackie Pigeaud, edited by Otro cauce in 2021. In particular, they deal specifically with the presence of the ancients, or, as Pigeaud calls them, the Ancients, with capital letters, in this book. The Ancients are omnipresent in Melancholia, not only because the author's specialty is Classical philology and literature, but also because in philosophy, as well as in literature and medical texts, the Ancients were the first in the West to address the issue of that malaise of the individual that we call melancholy. They did it from different angles, but always in depth and with an excellent comprehension of the human condition; the echoes of this comprehension still reverberate until today in our cultural subconscious, which according to Pigeaud is, precisely, the Ancient, with capital letters as well. Estos "apuntes" fueron leídos con ocasión de la presentación de la traducción al español del libro Melancholia. El malestar del individuo, de Jackie Pigeaud, editado por Otro cauce en 2021. En particular, abordan específicamente la presencia, en este libro, de los antiguos, o, como los llama Pigeaud, los Antiguos, con mayúsculas. Los Antiguos son omnipresentes en Melancholia, no solo porque la especialidad del autor es la filología y la literatura clásica, sino también porque, tanto en la filosofía como en la literatura y en los escritos médicos, los Antiguos fueron los primeros, en Occidente, en abordar el tema de ese malestar del individuo que llamamos melancolía. Lo hicieron desde distintos ángulos, pero siempre con una profundidad y una exquisita comprensión de la condición humana cuyos ecos resuenan hasta hoy en nuestro inconsciente cultural, que para Pigeaud es, precisamente, lo Antiguo, también con mayúsculas.
