During an equal period less than a tea-spoonful of urine daily has been drawn from the bladder by the catheter. At intervals, varying in length from seven to ten days, three or four ounces of a urinous uid have been vomited. The appetite has been variable, most usually wanting. Sleep could only be obtained by the constant use of narcotics, and many nights together are stated to have been sleepless. Laudanum, in two doses from 20 to 120 minims, procured rest; when the latter quantity was given, active delirium, continuing for three or four hours, was excited. In addition to her usual symptoms she complains of pain in the head and chest: the abdomen is tympanitic, and there is an obscure uctuation. During the last three weeks there has been bloody discharge from the ears only. Notwithstanding all these sufferings, the body is still as fat, and the arms, hips, legs, and mammae as plump, as when the patient entered the hospital.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →We seem to be living in hysterical times. A simple Google search reveals the sheer bottomless well of “hysterical” discussions on diverse topics such as the #metoo movement, Trumpianism, border wars, Brexit, transgender liberation, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, and climate change, to name only a few. Against the backdrop of such recent deployments of hysteria in popular discourse––particularly as they emerge in times of material and hermeneutic crisis––Performing Hysteria re-engages the notion of “hysteria”. Performing Hysteria rigorously mines late 20th- and early 21st-century (primarily visual) culture for signs of hysteria. The various essays in this volume contribute to the multilayered and complex discussions that surround and foster this resurgent interest in hysteria––covering such areas as art, literature, theatre, film, television, dance; crossing such disciplines as cultural studies, political science, philosophy, history, media, disability, race and ethnicity, and gender studies; and analysing stereotypical images and representations of the hysteric in relation to cultural sciences and media studies. Of particular importance is the volume's insistence on taking the intersection of hysteria and performance seriously.

Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... HYSTERIA AND OTHER NEUROLOGICAL PAPERS. I. SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON HYSTERIA.1 Notwithstanding the voluminous literature which exists on hysteria, something always remains to observe and describe in it. And this is to be expected when it is remembered that hysteria implies disarrangement of the functions of any part of the nervous system--in its four spheres of intelligence, mobility, sensibility, and visceral neurility. Every advance in our knowledge of these mysterious functions must, therefore, lead to some new point of view in regard to hysteria, or to mental, motor, sensory, or visceral neurosis. Is it possible at the present day to formulate the fundamental condition of hysteria in such a way as to bring it into harmony with the facts of the hysterical temperament, of the general neurotic diathesis, of the vaso-motor spasms, of the special, mental, motor, and sensory phenomena of hysteria, and of the relations of the developed disease to the reproductive organs on the one hand, and to moral and social conditions on the other? It seems to me that we can assert the following to be the twofold condition fundamental to hysteria: There is in it a congenital or acquired deficiency in the power of nerve-elements to effect the storage of force in nerve-tissues. 1 The nucleus of this paper was read before the Neurological Section of the Academy of Medicine, June 11, 1886. This can only be overcome by increasing the amount of stimulus to which these elements are subjected. Conversely, the elements of those centres, which are subjected to a preponderance of stimulus, will perform the function of storage most effectively, and, in so doing, will acquire preponderance over the others. And this is done by the sensory centres of the brain. These...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Trauma, Hysteria, Philosophy includes two essays which investigate philosophically the psychoanalytic categories of trauma and hysteria; each essay seeks a new way to understand such varied concepts as the dialectical theater and the linguistic turn. Media Identity is an attempt to reinvestigate the concept of hysteria as a philosophical notion. Beginning with the roots of Freud s development of the unconscious, moving to Bergson s concept of ontological memory and the body, and utilizing Deleuze s work on the virtual this essay attempts to navigate and describe the possibilities of identity in an age of ubiquitous media. Far from accepting a pessimistic outlook on the state of the subject this work considers the possibility of an aesthetics of hysteria. Turn: theories of trauma in the age of linguistics explores the not-so-implicit relationship between the linguistic turn in critical theory and the growing field of trauma studies. Drawing from psychoanalysis, critical theory, linguistic philosophy and literature, Kamens discusses the ways in which language and trauma have grown increasingly interdependent. Hannes Charen is an independent scholar, writer and book designer based in Brooklyn, New York. He has his Masters in Philosophy from the European Graduate School and is currently a Ph.D. candidate. Sarah Kamens is a Ph.D. student in Media and Communications at the European Graduate School, where she also received her M.A., and in Clinical Psychology at Fordham University. During the past few years, she lived in Palestine and Israel, where she conducted psychosocial research and worked in film.
