En savoir plus sur le livre

Elisabeth Bronfen reexamines hysteria, traditionally seen as a romantic relic, through the lens of medical writings and cultural performance. She challenges the conventional view that links hysteria solely to feminine sexual dissatisfaction, proposing instead that its roots lie in trauma and fear of violation. By interpreting the transformation of psychological pain into physical symptoms, Bronfen highlights how hysteria reflects both personal and societal discontent, revealing its ongoing significance in contemporary discussions of mental health and gender.
