Abstract:
Staying hysteric: sexuality and contingence upon the Dora's case. This article aims to recuperate the Freudian concept of hysteria through a reinterpretation of Dora´s case, his most famous clinical case of hysteria. I would like to show why medical knowledge must accept the Freudian concept of hysteria, mainly because Freud shows the nature of major conflicts in every singular constitution of gender identity.
Keywords:
