Hysteria

Marc Schuilenburg's "Hysteria: Crime, Media, and Politics" explores the resurgence of hysteria in contemporary society, moving beyond its traditional medical understanding.

The book examines hysteria's manifestation in various social contexts, from political discourse to economic trends and social media interactions.

Schuilenburg analyzes the historical evolution of hysteria, tracing its roots from ancient times to its current relevance.

He delves into the psychological, somatic, and sociological perspectives on hysteria, drawing on philosophical insights and empirical research.

The book ultimately argues that hysteria, while no longer a medical diagnosis, has transformed into a pervasive societal phenomenon with significant consequences.
