Kel M. R. Time and the Dog. The Depression of Modernity. In Russian /Kel M. R. Vremya i sobaka. Depressii sovremennosti. In this book, the Lacan-oriented Brazilian psychoanalyst Maria Rita Kehl argues that modern depressions are the result of the dominance of the imperatives of happiness, pleasure, and creative fulfillment that dominate capitalist consumer societies. Addressing a long tradition of thinking about melancholy - from Aristotle to Baudelaire to Benjamin - the author concludes that depression has now taken the place of melancholy as the main symptom of cultural discontent in premodern societies.
