YAGO, Daniel Françoli. The life of ghosts: melancholy and memory. Junguiana [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.1, pp. 9-22. ISSN 2595-1297.

This essay aims to amplify the conceptions of the ghost, either as a political-narrative figuration, or as a dynamism, in an experimental and intuitive way. In order to do so, it travels through some itineraries: first, it discusses a ghostly logic originating from the fields of philosophy, social sciences, literature and analytical psychology; then, it briefly investigates resonances of this logic based on Fisher's concepts on reversing the melancholy of lost futures through the work of opening to ghosts; and ends with a reflection on the uses of memory as resistance from the mythological figures of Saturn, Mnemosyne and the metaphors of Ogawa's The Memory Police. ■

Palavras-chave : ghosts; melancholy; memory; analytical psychology.
