Description
Performing Nerves brings together artistic and academic inquiry into hysteria, a topic that has captured the attention of feminist theorists, cultural studies scholars, literary analysts, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, medical historians, art historians, and novelists. Anna Furse interweaves her performance texts with critical essays to examine four distinct interpretations of hysteria, challenging conventional narratives that position the hysteric as a powerless, voiceless subject marginalised by patriarchal forces. This Routledge publication bridges performance practice and theoretical analysis, offering insights into how hysteria functions as both a historical phenomenon and a contemporary artistic concern. The work engages with questions of disablement, dissembling, and the embodied expression of psychological and social distress through performance.

Key Features

Combines four original performance texts by Anna Furse with accompanying academic essays exploring hysteria from multiple theoretical perspectives.

Draws on interdisciplinary scholarship from feminist theory, cultural studies, literary criticism, sociology, psychology, and art history to contextualise hysteria.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in theatre, performance studies, and cultural criticism.

Examines hysteria as both a historical medical concept and a performance strategy for expressing marginalisation and psychological distress.

Integrates artistic practice with academic writing to challenge conventional representations of the hysteric in theatre and literature.
