+### **Abstract**\\
+This thesis investigates how the literature of mourning that emerged in the 1980s in France were challenged by the legacies of post-structuralism and deconstruction and challenged them in return. On the one hand, they responded to both the constraints imposed by the so-called //crise du sujet//, i.e. the demise of a subject capable of knowledge and self-knowledge, and the //crise du référent//, i.e. the scepticism about the referential nature of language. On the other, they also responded to the demands of Levinasian ethics, which consigned the Other to an unattainable core of mystery and posited that responsibility towards the Other is infinite.\\
+This thesis focuses on texts of mourning by Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, as authors associated with post-structuralism and deconstruction, as well as Pierre Michon and Pascal Quignard, as authors whose formative years have been marked by their legacy. Combining close reading with the insights of theory, the thesis explores how their texts in turn dramatise or complicate the legacies of psychoanalysis and post-structuralism. Under the impetus of the latter, they find a renewed ethical concern for the singularity of the mourned which goes hand in hand with renewed conceptions of subjectivity. The mourner, self-effaced, defines himself through the act of commemorating figures of the past and through an imaginative posthumous dialogue with the dead.\\
+This thesis investigates how writing, mourning, and individuation form a singly dynamic process. If loss elicits a shattered sense of self, the thesis explores how, paradoxically, mourning also brings about a heightened sense of self, what Barthes called //la crime du particulier//.\\
+Secondly, contemporary texts of mourning transform certain functions of the elegy. As a coded genre, it sought closure by giving a symbolic meaning to those mourned and by maintaining an imaginative dialogue with them. In contemporary texts, the encounter between mourner and mourned becomes internalised, hosting, ghosting, incarnation, trans-substantiation, or identification providing metaphors for this communion. Freud made melancholia a pathological form of mourning, with the mourner unable to attain closure. Instead, contemporary texts construe melancholia as a special vigilance of memory. It becomes an ethical form of mourning tinted with joy. Finally, this thesis foregrounds a paradigmatic shift in the consolations of writing. The consoling efficacy of the traditional elegy was premised on the belief that giving a symbolic meaning to the dead ensured them an afterlife. The contemporary literature of mourning discussed here has instead become a locus of communion with the dead, organizing the transmission of their legacy. ###
