En savoir plus sur le livre

Elisabeth Bronfen reexamines hysteria, traditionally dismissed by medicine, through a feminist lens. She critiques historical medical writings and cultural performances to uncover its modern significance. Rather than attributing hysteria solely to feminine dissatisfaction, Bronfen identifies its roots in trauma and the fear of violation. She argues that the transformation of psychological pain into physical symptoms reflects broader personal and societal discontent, offering a fresh perspective on a condition often relegated to the past.
