Surrealist writer André Breton praised hysteria for being the greatest poetic discovery of the nineteenth century, but many physicians have since viewed it as the "wastebasket of medicine," a psychosomatic state that defies attempts at definition and cure and that can be easily mistaken for other pathological conditions. In light of a resurgence of critical interest in hysteria, leading feminist scholar Elisabeth Bronfen reinvestigates medical writings and cultural performance to reveal the continued relevance of a disorder widely thought to be a romantic formulation of the past. Through a critical rereading, she develops a new concept of hysteria, one that challenges traditional gender-based theories linking it to dissatisfied feminine sexual desire. Bronfen turns instead to hysteria's traumatic causes, particularly the fear of violation, and shows how the conversion of psychic anguish into somatic symptoms can be interpreted today as the enactment of personal and cultural discontent.Tracing the development of cultural formations of hysteria from the 1800s to the present, this book explores the writings of Freud, Charcot, and Janet together with fictional texts (Radcliffe, Stoker, Anne Sexton), opera (Mozart, Wagner), cinema (Cronenberg, Hitchcock, Woody Allen), and visual art (Marie-Ange Guilleminot, Cindy Sherman). Each of these creative works attests to a particular relationship between hysteria and self-fashioning, and enables us to read hysteria quite literally as a language of discontent. The message broadcasted by the hysteric is one of vulnerability: vulnerability of the symbolic, of identity, and of the human body itself.Throughout this work, Bronfen not only offers fresh approaches to understanding hysteria in our culture, but also introduces a new metaphor to serve as a theoretical tool. Whereas the phallus has long dominated psychoanalytical discourse, the image of the navel--a knotted originary wound common to both genders--facilitates discussion of topics relevant to hysteria, such as trauma, mortality, and infinity. Bronfen's insights make for a lively, innovative work sure to interest readers across the fields of art and literature, feminism, and psychology.Originally published in 1998.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

De l'œuvre très riche de Bernard Mandeville, la postérité n'a guère retenu que la très controversée Fable des abeilles, qui lui vaut encore aujourd'hui de passer pour l'apôtre du libéralisme le plus cynique. Son Traité des passions hypocondriaques et hystériques, seul ouvrage médical de ce médecin philosophe, fait partie de ses œuvres les moins connues en Grande-Bretagne comme en France. Il mérite cependant d'être lu à plus d'un titre, car Mandeville y fait entendre un discours pragmatique étonnamment moderne sur la relation entre le malade et le patient. La parole et le récit de soi sont au centre du processus de guérison, et annoncent la cure par la parole théorisée par la psychanalyse. La forme du dialogue n'y est pas une simple stratégie didactique, elle est le véhicule de la cure et la cure elle-même. Le Traité de Mandeville s'inscrit également dans une tradition de réflexion sur la mélancolie qui remonte à l'antiquité mais qui affirme son actualité au xviie siècle avec la parution de l'œuvre majeure de Robert Burton (The Anatomy of Melancholy) en 1621, et devient ce « mal anglais » que décrira George Cheyne un siècle plus tard (The English Malady), en 1733, soit trois ans seulement après la seconde édition révisée et augmentée du Traité de Mandeville.

Dit boek is een van de grondigste publicaties in ons taalgebied over de lacaniaanse psychoanalyse. De Gentse hoogleraar en psychoanalyticus Verhaeghe schrijft een geschiedenis van de freudiaanse psychoanalyse en toont aan hoe Lacan met zijn lingui͏̈stisch model de draad van Freud opneemt waar deze verward of het spoor bijster raakt. Freud begon bij de hysterie en belandde bij de onvoltooide zoektocht naar het vrouwelijke. Het boek van Verhaeghe is gestructureerd rondom de zgn. vier discours van Lacan die aangeven welke verschillende posities het menselijk traject kan innemen tegenover de castratie, die het verlangen en de betekenis installeert. Verhaeghe's leidende idee is dat de theorie die Freud ontwikkelde dezelfde meanders volgt als één behandeling van een hysterische patie͏̈nt. Hoe theoretisch dit studieboek ook oogt, het bevat tal van expliciete en impliciete verwijzingen naar het klinisch werk. Freud en Lacan begrijpen is geen sinecure. Ook dit boek vormt moeilijke lectuur, maar Verhaeghe is er met zijn rijk taalgebruik en overzichtelijke structuur in geslaagd het hermetisch denken van Lacan toegankelijker te maken. De oorspronkelijke uitgave (niet op a.i. aangeboden) werd in deze 'herziene' druk slechts zeer gedeeltelijk gewijzigd. © NBD Biblion
