Illness and Insight: Melancholic Encounters with(in) History. Rainer Maria Rilke, Walter Benjamin, and Peter Handke explores the complex and highly problematic relationship between subjective perception and its subsequent narrative expression in a series of canonical literary and theoretical texts by Rilke, Benjamin, and Handke. Collectively, these texts by three of the most significant modern German writers highlight the subject's struggle with the problem of perception and expression as an antagonism deeply embedded within the demands of their elusive and resistant historical inscriptions. In an attempt to break free from more conventional modes of perception---models that would equate perception with cognition---the protagonists of Rilke's and Handke's novels strive to "see anew," and, in the process, transform the ways in which they dismantle and re-cognize not only their own histories, but the invisible historical narratives that surround them in modernity. Through the prismatic Benjaminian lens of the philosophico-textual montage, especially as it emerges in his Trauerspiel study and his early philosophy of language, "seeing anew" becomes an exercise in realigning historical fragments along non-linear lines, ultimately propelling the subject to rethink the dominant narratives of the world in which its quotidian experience is inscribed. Echoes of personal and collective histories both traumatize and mobilize the subject, providing it a point of departure for a process of perceptual recalibration. It is argued that this newly recalibrated mode of perception in the discourse of modernity claims residence only in the melancholic perspective and its narrative voice. Indeed, it is in the aesthetic production of that melancholic perspective that the refractory subject becomes visible to itself as aleatory in a decidedly modern gesture of dispersal.
