Hysteria was once simultaneously physical illness, an illness without physical symptoms - and something unmistakably feminine. Freud and Charcot diagnosed Hysteria as psychological trauma manifesting itself through the body - its cure resting between therapy and medicine. In her talk, Julia will explore the history of hysteria in relation to psychoanalysis and examine the hysterical identifications' of our time, from dictatorship to pop culture.
Julia Borossa is a writer and lecturer who is particularly interested in the histories, cultures and politics of psychoanalysis.
