Description
Three psychological perspectives on the constantly shifting social construct of loneliness
Deep feelings of loneliness can be caused by several internal and external factors, both tangible and intangible. Rather than examining physical structures that have the potential to isolate individuals, The Architecture of Loneliness takes a psychological and sociological approach to the issue of loneliness through three essays. In the first, South African psychologist Wahbie Long explains how foundational experiences during one's childhood can affect adult relationships. French philosopher Marie José Mondzain adopts the vocabulary of architecture as a metaphor for creating an emotional "home" within which to welcome others. Lastly, French psychoanalyst Lysiane Lamantowicz discusses the contradictory effects of social media, and how these platforms for connection can increase alienation. The Architecture of Loneliness recognizes both the causes and effects of loneliness, and how to connect with others near and far.
Editor Mieke Bal is a cultural theorist, critic, video artist and curator. She writes from an interdisciplinary perspective on cultural analysis, literature and art, focusing on gender, migratory culture, capitalism and political art.
