In the essay Michael Haneke. Mourning and Melancholia in European Cinema, its author concentrates on Michael Haneke and his most important films and their political and social contexts. Such historical phenomena as the dissolution of the communist system, German unification, terrorism, mass migratory movements in Europe, European unification and increasing homophobia and racism constitute a setting to her analysis. Seen through the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis and especially through Sigmund Freud’s notions of mourning and melancholia, Haneke seems to portray the psychological state of contemporary Europe and its fears and paranoia. After taking the reader for a Hanekian journey, the author concludes that the director himself may be a melancholic with delusions of grandeur and a narcissistic overestimation of his ability to reveal all the evils in the contemporary world.
