Sažetak
Drawing on a reference to recompense in Freud’s 1917 essay on mourning and melancholia, I argue that recompense in relation to mourning, along with an economics this entails, serves to process Freud’s earlier psychoanalytic remarks on literature, and anticipates his theory of the death drive in the 1920s. If this is to suggest that the ideation of the death drive is implicated in what early psychoanalysis advertises as literary criticism, it also suggests that psychoanalytic literary criticism is ultimately imagined as a format of mourning. What emerges is a conceptual apparatus of psychoanalysis whose cornerstones are bribery, premium, recompense, work and loss: one that aspires to be cancelled in the repetition and lack of the death drive, yet keeps reaffirming both the aesthetics and the economics of mourning.
