LAMANNO-ADAMO, Vera L. C.. On The history of the bones: a tale of unmourning. J. psicanal. [online]. 2018, vol.51, n.94, pp. 261-269. ISSN 0103-5835.

Unmourning is a concept that was introduced by Jean-Claude Rolland during the Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise (Brazilian Psychoanalysis Society) Conference in São Paulo in August, 2017. According to Rolland, mourning and the unmourning are recently coined terms that explore the process from the introduction of the object that organized the melancholy up to the work of mourning that will turn off the libido. The work of melancholic mourning "preserves" the object and employs pain as an equivalent of the object's libido, where the pain becomes a substitute of the object which caused it, having a significant restriction of subjectivity as its first effect. The unmourning allows the work of mourning to be continued and undoes the melancholic condensation of the subject with the object by establishing a dialog between them. In the present paper, the author articulates insights between these formulations and A história dos ossos (The history of the bones), novel written by Alberto Martins, in which a son is dealing with the loss of his father.
