Part I Grief and Melancholy in the Chinese Literary Contexts -- Chapter 1 Epitomizing the Poignancy in Poetry and Cantonese Opera: "The Heartbroken Poetry" -- Chapter 2 Representing Melancholy Love: "Aiqing xiaoshuo" in Early Twentieth-Century Chinese Media Culture -- Chapter 3 Mourning does not Become Beiju: Forging a Tragic Spirit of Grief and Heroic Resistance in Some 1920 Chinese (she-)tragedies -- Chapter 4 -- Translating China for the Gazing eyes - A Case Study of The Battle of Chosin -- Part II: The Triggering of Melancholic Loss from the Cross-cultural Perspective -- Chapter 5 Melancholy across the Multiverse: The Everything Bagel and the Loss of Self in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) -- Chapter 6 The Grief of Losing and the Melancholy of Being: A Journey of Dream and Awakening in Lao She's Mr Ma and Son -- Chapter 7 Poetics of Loss in Esperanto: Mao Zifu Writes on his Wheelchair -- Chapter 8 Mourning the Lost Self in Mei Ng's Eating Chinese Food Naked and LuLu Wang's The Farewell -- Part III The Various Forms of Grief and Melancholy in Contemporary Hong Kong Discourses -- Chapter 9 Words on Display: Chinese Funeral banners and Wreath Messages through a Geosemiotic Lens -- Chapter 10 Covering the Grief of Leaving: A Study of News discourse on Hong Kong Emigration Wave -- Chapter 11 Melancholy in Narratives of Early Career English Teachers in Hong Kong.

This book is a collection of academic essays that examines the representation, esthetics and dichotomy of the notions of grief and melancholy in East-West exchanges and cultural dialogues. It explores the topic in the dimensions of individual behaviors under specific social norms and cultural products such as literature, film and any other forms of arts/genres, etc. In his 1917 work Mourning and Melancholia (Trauer und Melancholie), Sigmund Freud connected the grief of loss with melancholic emotions which may give rise to acts of mourning. He suggested that "[i]n mourning it is the world which has become poor and empty; in melancholia it is the ego itself" (Freud, 1917: 246) Inspired by Freud's stance and with the goal of providing up-to-date intellectual resources for academics, researchers and students with ardent interests in the varying exemplifications of grief and melancholy in Sino-Western contexts, the book serves more than a discussion over the pragmatic and ritualistic connections of grief and melancholy in relation to the inner self and the external world. It aims at the pursuit of a contemporary theorization of grief and melancholy beyond its modern limits.
