Examining historical, clinical, and artistic material, in both
written and visual form, this book traces the figure of the
contemporary hysteric as she rebels against the impossible demands
made upon her. Exploring five traits that commonly characterise the
hysteric as an archetype – a specific body, mimetic abilities, a
shroud of mystery, a propensity to disappear, and a particular
relationship to voice – the authors shed light on what it means
to be hysterical, as a form of rebellion and resistance. This is
important reading for scholars of sociology, gender studies,
cultural studies, and visual studies with interests in
psychoanalysis, art, and the characterisation of mental illness.
