Melancholia as methodVrtačič, Eva (Avtor) Dylan Dogmelancholic epistemologymelancholic methodologyhorrormourningcomicsdark humorAn interpretation of Tiziano Sclavi’s comic series Dylan Dog as a sustained melancholic inquiry is provided in the article. Dylan’s melancholic epistemology, a way of knowing grounded in repetition, ambivalence and loss grants him almost metaphysical lucidity. Such an internal condition becomes a melancholic methodology, a hermeneutics of loss that actively resists closure and deduction. The comic’s horror functions as a language of mourning, with monsters embodying the unresolved collective losses and structural failures of late modernity. Dylan’s ethical persistence constitutes a radical practice of political existence in the face of a systemic impasse.20262026-06-15 17:13:45Članek v reviji183586UDK: 741.52:82-7ISSN pri članku: 2820-591XDOI: 10.51936/tip.63.1.169COBISS_ID: 277624835sl
