Abstract

[Machine translation] The volume is dedicated to Petrarca and attempts to sketch a small eulogy of self-mourning starting from the rereading of “I'm thinking, et nel penser m'assale...”. Through a focused survey of the history of criticism, dealing with the theme of death and mourning, the essay tries to phenomenologically evaluate Petrarca's approach to being “given to himself” (Maurice Merleau-Ponty): an approach that does not only involve the usual “separation of lovers” and an anticipated and almost consequent “phenomenology of death” (Igor A. Caruso) but - more precisely - a small praise of self-mourning and a phenomenology of survival similar to the one we still experience today. Why? To be able to assume again the sin of living without guilt, without the immediate, inevitable death sentence that we face in this life; that is, to accept here and now the time and space of a life without those with whom we had become friends and animated passions.
