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--\u003ci\u003ePerforming Hysteria\u003c\/i\u003e re-engages the notion of \"hysteria.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerforming Hysteria\u003c\/i\u003e rigorously mines late 20th and earlytwenty-first 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR and Project Muse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Johanna Braun (University of Vienna), Vivian Delchamps (University of California), Cecily Devereux (University of Alberta), Sander L.
