Quotes by Juliet Mitchell (?)

“The language of lists is not symbolic; it is an enumeration given meaning only if one recognizes it as the accoutrements of the subject.”
― Juliet Mitchell, Mad Men and Medusas: Reclaiming Hysteria

“But Dora’s illnesses are mimetic copies: she had modelled herself on the hysterical aunt with the wasting disease. When she complains of piercing gastric pains, Freud asks her ‘Who are you copying now?’ Imitating we know not who, a specific constellation of her symptoms also indicates that through them she has gone through an imaginary childbirth. Her answer to Freud’s questions about bedwetting suggest that she may have been confused wTith her brother, for she too had been enuretic in childhood.”

“Identifications with dogs, or possession by dogs who themselves are good imitators, have featured in descriptions of hysteria since the ancient Greeks. The ancient Greek hysteric experienced her body as being filled with an uncontrollable rampaging, like an animal gnawing her from within (which is quite a good description of uncontrollable desire). Her body was experienced or described as occupiedby a wild dog.”
