- W128510135 abstract "This thesis centres on the twin discourses of hysteria and theatre, and contends that anexamination of hysteria, which is above all a performative disease, can illuminate ourunderstanding of performance on the public stage. My analysis of the history ofhysteria shows that our modern understanding of the condition developed out of theinteractions between the physician/analyst and the live body of the hysteric, with all itssymptomatic acts, this thesis, which has as its central concern the live body of stagedperformance, uses the history of those interactions to re-centre attention on thesymptomatic acts of the performing body on stage, and on the process of reading suchacts.Drawing its material from a number of stage performances from the nineteenthand twentieth centuries - from the texts of melodrama such as The Dumb Man ofManchester(l837) or The Bells (1871) through the work of the American actressElizabeth Robins in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (1891) and her own play Alan's Wife(1893) to modem texts such as Helne Cixous's Portrait of Dora (1976) - this thesisreads those performances, and the relationship of those performances to theiraudiences, through the lens of hysteria: using an understanding of hysteria to readthose texts anew and, in reverse, using the texts to develop, and critique, a model ofhysterical performance rhetoric.Such a model, this thesis argues, with its very basis in a condition of rejectionof or failure to fit into the dominant discourses of society, is not limited in applicationto performance texts which take hysteria as their subject. Instead it can be morewidely employed as a key part of a radical theatrical politics by those who today findthemselves silenced by the dominant discourses and values of our own era." @default.
