          Abstract

          Si algo suele destacarse de El origen del Trauerspiel alemán, texto que escribió Walter Benjamin para postularse como docente en la Universidad, es su riqueza e innovación conceptual. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo dos cosas: por un lado, comprender el sentido de uno de estos conceptos, el de melancolía, que es tan importante para Benjamin tanto en esta obra como a lo largo de su producción filosófica. Por otro lado, se pretende indagar en las fuentes, tanto las implícitas como las explicitadas, que usa el filósofo para hablar del término en cuestión. Esto nos llevará a considerar a autores de la medicina clásica como Hipócrates y Galeno, del ideario astrológico renacentista como Ficino y algunas propuestas freudianas en torno al luto y la melancolía.

          Translated abstract

          If something is usually considered to be remarkable about "The origin of German tragic drama", a book written by Walter Benjamin in order to be a postulant as a teacher at the University, is its conceptual richness and innovation. This essay tries to accomplish two objectives: On the one hand, to understand the sense of one of these notions, that of melancholy, which is so important for Benjamin both in this work and all along his philosophical production. On the other hand, an attempt is made to investigate both implicit and explicit sources used by the philosopher to refer to the term under consideration. This will lead us to deal with classic medicine authors such as Hippocrates and Galen, from the renacentist astrological ideological repertoire such as Ficino and some Freudian proposals about mourning and melancholy.
