![]() In particular, emotion has a didactic function by reminding the reader of structural inequalities and how the history of European imperialism fuels present-day xenophobia. The novel’s engagement with melancholia as political through communal emotions that make visible injustice rejects Freudian notions of melancholia as negatively pathological. Attempts to alleviate melancholia through investing in objects in line with normal cycles of mourning remain inconclusive due to the way consumerist spaces are structured to normalise whiteness. The novel illustrates how processes of migrant melancholia are caught up with the gendered, religious and racial relationship of bodies, space and objects. ![]() Fadia Faqir’s 'My Name is Salma' (2007) conceives of melancholia as exceeding both individual and national boundaries. Melancholia has been read as an individual pathological response to loss, a national cultural reaction to the end of the British Empire, and as a collective political emotion felt by socially marginalised groups. ![]()

In 1944, Erich Lindemann published data collected from bereaved family members following the Cocoanut Grove Fire that killed 492 people, the deadliest nightclub fire in history. The earliest accounts of the symptomatology and management of acute grief harken back to the beginning of the field of psychosomatic medicine. These researchers were attempting to quantify the relationship between life events that require an ongoing adjustment (e.g., chronic stress) and the timing of illness onset. The death of a loved one has been recognized as the greatest life stressor that we face as humans, heading the list of stressful life events compiled by Holmes and Rahe( 1). Psychosomatic medicine has a long and storied history of studying the health effects of bereavement. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes the person you love the most might be better off without you.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Byrne left Uncanny X-Men before the storyline could come about, and Claremont went in a different direction with new artist/co-plotter, Dave Cockrum. However, after killing Wolverine's girlfriend, Mariko, this drives Wolverine basically nuts, and he is able to successfully defeat (and kill) his father. The idea of the story is that Wolverine has been tortured by Sabretooth his whole life, and Sabretooth always got the upper hand. ![]() In fact, as noted in this old Comic Book Legends Revealed, Byrne gave Sabretooth the face that he initially had come up with for Wolverine when Wolverine had not yet been shown without his mask (in between Byrne sending to Claremont his idea for what Wolverine looked like, Dave Cockrum ended up revealing Wolverine's actual face in an issue of X-Men).Ī few years later, when both men were plotting X-Men together (as related in this old Comic Book Legends Revealed), they actually came up with a plotline where Sabretooth is revealed as Wolverine's dad. Chris Claremont and John Byrne introduced Sabretooth in the pages of Iron Fist, but even back then, Claremont and Byrne were thinking that this new character was tied to the character Claremont was then writing in the pages of X-Men (and who Byrne would soon be drawing on a regular basis), Wolverine. ![]() |
