This study addresses the way in which a psychoanalytic model of
mourning relates to a set of Jewish apocalypses concerned with the
destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple. These texts respond to the
traumatic symbolic loss of Zion and attempt to heal it through the
apocalyptic narrative, the visionary experiences of the seers, and
the emotional transformation that results from the interplay of the
two. The seers react with rage, paralysis, and self-annihilating
sentiments, and hence these texts resemble incomplete, stalled
mourning, or melancholia. Through the course of their narratives
and a 'working-through' of the Jewish past, true mourning and
psychological recovery occur, prompting visions of the
establishment of an ideal society in the future.
