In Depression: A Public Feeling, Ann Cvetkovich combines memoir and
critical essay in search of ways of writing about depression as a
cultural and political phenomenon that offer alternatives to
medical models. She describes her own experience of the
professional pressures, creative anxiety, and political
hopelessness that led to intellectual blockage while she was
finishing her dissertation and writing her first book. Building on
the insights of the memoir, in the critical essay she considers the
idea that feeling bad constitutes the lived experience of
neoliberal capitalism. Cvetkovich draws on an unusual archive,
including accounts of early Christian acedia and spiritual despair,
texts connecting the histories of slavery and colonialism with
their violent present-day legacies, and utopian spaces created from
lesbian feminist practices of crafting. She herself seeks to craft
a queer cultural analysis that accounts for depression as a
historical category, a felt experience, and a point of entry into
discussions about theory, contemporary culture, and everyday life.
Depression: A Public Feeling suggests that utopian visions can
reside in daily habits and practices, such as writing and yoga, and
it highlights the centrality of somatic and felt experience to
political activism and social transformation.
