Abstract:
This article addresses the manifestations of hysteria in the contemporary world retaking the concepts of body and symptom, as subjective constructions of the psychic subject, in the constructs of Freud and Lacan’s theories. From the body, in the classic neuroses, to the body in the neuroses today, the question arises of the difference in the presentation of the neurotic symptoms. We propose the concept of Lacan’s rigid hysteria to understand the hysterical symptoms presented today as formations of agency of enjoyment of the body by the real record, moving away from the classic Freudian hysteria of symbolic ordering. This hysterical modality requires a clinical treatment guided by the real registry, requiring other listening positions.
