See also Anna Wierzbicka’s discussion of poshlost’ in Wierzbicka (1997) Understanding Cultures Through Their Key Words: English, Russian, Polish, German and Japanese (Oxford: Oxford University Press), 2–5.
2 . Teixeira de Pascoaes and António Sérgio, ‘A polémica com António Sérgio’, a series of eight letters first published in A Águia between October 1913 (vol. 5, 2nd series, no. 22) and July 1914 (vol. 6, 2nd series, no. 31) and reprinted in an anthology of Pascoaes’ writings on the theme of saudade : Pascoaes (1988) in Pinharanda Gomes (ed.), A Saudade e o Saudosismo (dispersos e opúsculos) (Lisbon: Assírio & Alvim), 97–154.
3 . Milan Kundera (1980) The Book of Laughter and Forgetting , trans. M. H. Heim (Harmondsworth: Penguin). The novel was written in Czech in 1978 (as Kniha smíchu a zapomnění ), but first published in France in 1979 (as Le Livre du rire et de l’oubli ). The English version consulted here is Heim’s 1980 translation from the original Czech manuscript into English. The Czech version was published in 1981.

184 Notes
24 . Humoral medicine today exists in some cultures. Chinese traditional medi-cine, for instance, is humoral and also based on notions of equilibrium and vital essences. Disharmonic emotions are considered the cause of somatic disorders, but not – significantly – disorders in themselves. Gi qing zhi bing are the ‘seven emotions that induce disease’.

This episode preceded a similar one in which right-wing Czech nationalists promoted a series of manuscripts of supposedly medieval origin that proved continuity of the Czech spirit. Statesman Tomáš Masaryk dismissed them as forgeries, choosing instead a more ancient and humanistic example in the priest Jan Hus.

Introduction to Part I
1 . Pascoaes, ‘Os meus comentários às duas cartas de António Sérgio’, first published in A Águia , vol. 5 (2nd series, issue 22) of October 1913, 104–9, reprinted in an anthology of Pascoaes’ writings on the theme of saudade ; Pascoaes (1988) in Pinharanda Gomes (ed.), A Saudade e o Saudosismo ( dispersos e opúsculos) (Lisbon: Assírio & Alvim), 108. [ Esta nossa divina palavra, não me canso de repiti-lo, contém o sonho da nossa Raça, o seu íntimo e transcendente móbil messiânico e redentor, por isso, ela é intraduzível, portuguesa, e explica os nossos grandes acontecimentos históricos, a alma dos nossos grandes homens, e criará o nosso sonho do futuro, uma Aspiração nacional que una os portuguesas de aquém e de al ém-mar. ]

[ Saudade – este afecto como é proprio dos Portugueses que naturalmente são maviosos, e afeiçoados não ha língua em que da mesma maneira se possa explicar, nem ainda per muitas palavras que se declare bem. ... temos saudade de ver a Terra em que nascemos, ou em que nos criámos, ou em que nos vimos em algum posto, ou prosperidade. ... é lembrança de alguma cousa com desejo dela. ]

Notes 187
3 . Ibid. 4 . It has been proposed that saudade developed out of the Latin solitatem (soli-
tude), from which the Spanish word soledad also derives, or from the Latin salutate (health), or from the Arabic saudá – meaning black bile – and is therefore related to humoral medicine. For an anthology of a diverse range of theories see: Costa and Gomes (eds), Introdução à Saudade , 7–13.

188 Notes
16 . The first significant study of the twentieth century was produced by the Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcellos, the only prominent female member of the Renascen ça Portuguesa , in 1922: Vasconcellos (1922) A Saudade Portuguesa: Divagações filológicas e literar- históricas em volta de Inês de Castro e do cantar velho ‘Saudade minha – ¿Quando te veria?’ , 2nd ed. (Porto: Renascença Portuguesa). Her concise and much cited work not only examines saudade ’s rise apropos the Discoveries (during the sixteenth century, in particular), but is also devoted to the matter of its disputed etymology. Introdução à Saudade (1976) offers a valuable anthology of definitions and critical representations, adding phenomenological interpretations to the standard philologies: D. L. Pereira da Costa & P. Gomes (eds) (1976) Introdução à Saudade ( Antologia teórica e aproximação crítica) (Porto: Lello & Irmão). A more recent addition is Noronha (2007) A Saudade .
17 . The word fado means ‘fate’. Michael Colvin (2008) The Reconstruction of Lisbon: Severa’s Legacy and the Fado’s Rewriting of Urban History (Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press), 14. The Estado Novo lasted from 1933–74. Saudade is also a common theme in the music and popular culture in Brazil and – as sodade – in morna, the music of the former Portuguese colony of Cape Verde.

22 . Lopes, ‘António Sérgio na “Renascença Portuguesa” ’, 415. 23 . Sérgio, ‘Epístolas aos Saudosistas’, October 1913, in ‘A polémica’, in Gomes
(ed.), Saudade e Saudosismo , 99. [ Dizem que o saudosismo está de acordo com o espírito contemporâneo. Essa pretensão, como todas as do saudosismo, é precisa-mente o contrário da verdade. Não poderia ser o desacordo mais perfeito, nem o absurdo mais sensível. ]
24 . Sérgio, ‘Epístolas aos Saudosistas’, in Gomes (ed.), Saudade e Saudosismo , 98. [ Um sujeito vê um dia um cão e bate-lhe. O cão foge, desmoralizado pelo ines-perado do ataque. Decorridos dias o nosso homem passa outra vez pelo cão, sem dar por ele. Ao cão vem-lhe um desejo naturalíssimo de sentir a carne do agressor comprimida entre os seus caninos e ... zás, estão daí vocês a ver a cena. Que se passara na conciência? Nada de extraordinário: uma velha lembrança gerando um novo desejo: – a saudade (definição por Pascoaes). ]
25 . Ibid., 98. 26 . Ibid. [‘ teve ... suas causas sociais, as quais hoje já não existem .’] 27 . Ibid., 98–9. 28 . Ibid., 100. [ ‘imobilismo, inércia, contemplação do passado, amor de cristalizar ou
mummificar o que já foi..’ ] 29 . Ibid. [ ‘Poderia haver maior contradição com todas as tendencias sociais, filosóficas
e religiosas do nosso tempo?’ ] 30 . Galician, or galego , the language of the Western Spanish region, is more closely
related to Portuguese than Castillian. Estela Vieira asserts that in Galicia ‘although the word “saudade” exists, “morriña” is the correct counterpart to
Notes 189
the Portuguese “saudade” because it has acquired a similar usage and equiva-lent implications’; this is debatable. (Vieira, ‘“Saudade” and “Soledad” ’, 127.)
31 . Sérgio, ‘Epístolas aos Saudosistas’, 101. Dor is also a bittersweet longing that could be said to have the opposite coordinates to saudade . Whereas saudade refers to ‘horizontal’ longing, such as of sailors on the wide open seas, dor is related to the ‘vertical’, an emotion of the mountains and shepherds who are far from home.
32 . Ibid. The original passage is found in Pascoaes’ 1912 essay ‘O espírito lusi-tano ou o saudosismo,’ [1912], in Gomes (ed.), Saudade e Saudosismo , 51. The emphasis on ‘perhaps’ is the doubting Sérgio’s own addition. [ Nós somos, na verdade, o único povo que pode dizer que na sua língua existe uma palavra intraduzível nos outros idiomas, a qual encerra todo o sentido da sua alma colectiva. A alma lusitana concentrou-se numa só palavra, e nela existe e vive, como na pequena gota de orvalho a imagem do sol imenso. Sim: a palavra saudade é intraduzível. O único povo que sente a Saudade é o povo português, incluindo talvez o galego, porque a Galiza é um bocado de Portugal sob as patas do leão de Castela ... ]
33 . Ibid., 102–3. Perhaps the most notable example is the work of the celebrated nineteenth-century Galician poet Rosalía de Castro, in which saudade was a strong theme.
34 . Lopes, ‘António Sérgio na “Renascença Portuguesa” ’, 406–7. 35 . Pascoaes, ‘Renascença (O espírito da nossa raça),’ in Gomes (ed.) Saudade e
Saudosismo , 39. [ A Saudade é a eterna Renascença, não realizada pelo artifício das Artes, come aconteceu na Itália, mas vivida dia a dia, hora a hora, pelo instinto emotivo dum Povo .]
36 . Pascoaes, ‘Os meus comentários às duas cartas de António Sérgio’, in ‘A polémica’, in Gomes (ed.), Saudade e Saudosismo, 105. [ Não há grande Poeta português que não viva dramaticamente esta Saudade. É ela a dolorosa essência metafísica da nossa autêntica literatura, incluindo a Poesia popular. É a Saudade do céu, divina sede de perfeição e Redenção, o eterno Sebastianismo da alma portu-guesa e a sua transcendente e poética attitude perante o Mistério infinito! ]
37 . Alcácer-Quibir to the Portuguese. 38 . Pascoaes, ‘Os meus comentários’, 106. 39 . Ibid., 108. [‘ nossa divina palavra.’ ] 40 . Ibid., 109. [‘ A Europa deu-lhe cepticismo de mistura com electricidade e carvão de

44 . Lourenço, ‘Portugal and Its Destiny’, 123. 45 . Eduardo Lourenço is arguably the foremost theorist of Portuguese identity;
his O Labirinto da Saudade is one of the seminal works on the topic. See also: Francisco da Cunha Leão (1960) O Enigma Português (Lisbon: Guimarâes); João Medina (2006) Portuguesismo(s): (acerca da identidade nacional) (Lisbon: Centro de Histôria da Universidade de Lisboa); Boaventura de Sousa Santos follows the post-1974 trend of focusing on political and socioeconomic aspects of Portuguese identity over the mythic. See, for example, Pela mão de Alice: o social e o polìtico na pós-m odernidade (1996) and Portugal: ensaio contra a autoflagelação (2011).

published in the journal Listy 1 (no. 7–8, Prague), 1, 5, in December 1968. I refer to Josette Baer’s English translation in Baer (ed.) Preparing Liberty in Central Europe: Political Texts from the Spring of Nations 1848 to the Spring of Prague 1968 (Stuttgart: Ibidem-Verlag, 2006), 143–50; Kundera, ‘The Tragedy of Central Europe’, trans. E. White, New York Review of Books, vol. 31 (7), 26 April 1984, 33–8. A similar proposition on the placing the philosophy of lítost between the two essays has been put forward by Tim West.

2 . Ibid. Note: the rendering of the word in both the French and English trans-lations of The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is ‘ litost ’ in italics, but without
196 Notes
an acute accent over the ‘i’. In Czech, the correct spelling of the word is ‘ lítost ’ with an accent – this čárka marks the ‘long and stressed’ first syllable, and is in fact a separate grapheme. In this volume, I use the Czech orthog-raphy ( lítost ) except when quoting from the English translation. However, its manifestation in translations without an acute – rendering it a neologism of sorts – seems perfectly acceptable, since it refers to a concept that is quasi-invented anyway.

an exemplar of this. Their fate is revealed about halfway through the novel.

70 . This is the opinion of Czech dissident Milan Jungmann, who famously accused Kundera of trivialising the Czech communist experience to market it to his supposedly shallow Western audiences, and thereby engaging in the ‘mass production of martyr virtue’. (Jungmann (1999) ‘Kunderian Paradoxes,’ [1992] in Peter Petro (ed.) Critical Essays on Milan Kundera (New York: G. K. Hall & Co.), 120.)

www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2006/press.html. 3 . Hereafter, the English version will be referred to as Istanbul and the Turkish,
İstanbul . To refer to the book in general, the English Istanbul will be used. 4 . Pamuk also expounded his theory of hüzün in a paper written at around
the same time as Istanbul but published several years later. This paper seems to constitute a draft for some ideas in the book, rather than an extension of them. Pamuk (2008) ‘Hüzün-melancholy-tristesse of Istanbul’ in Andreas Huyssen (ed.), Other Cities, Other Worlds: Urban Imaginaries in a Globalizing Age (Durham, NC: Duke University Press).

2 . That is, ‘ amertume ’, according to the Fono Büyük Sözlük: Fransizca-Türkçe, Türk çe- Fransizca .
3 . In Turkish, kara means black and sevda , love. In Serbian, however, sevda relates to melancholic love; the theory is that the word derives from both Turkish sevda and Arabic saudá (‘blackness’ – see endnote no. 4, p. 187). In the Balkans, sevdalinka is a popular folk music genre, often characterised by mournful love songs. See: Marko Živković (2011) Serbian Dreambook: National Imaginary in the Time of Milošević (Bloomington: Indiana University Press), 56–7; Risto Pekka Pennanen (2010) ‘Melancholic Airs of the Orient – Bosnian Sevdalinka Music as an Orientalist and National Symbol’, in Pennanen (ed.), Music and Emotions.
