In the context of the intuitive conception of the world’s end, a notion replete with ambiguity, there is substantial discourse on ‘cosmic melancholy,’ conceptualized as a metaphysical fatigue (Byung-Chul Han) or an apocalyptic concept. However, little has been written about hysteria in this context. This paper will explore the transition from melancholy to hysteria as a response to the perceived loss of the world. This shift, manifested in hysteria as opposed to melancholy, notably encompasses a resurgence of vitality or, among others, the hope for being alive. Despite the inherent inauthenticity of the hysterical ‘performance,’ it presupposes that through ‘visibility before others,’ the hysteric may ultimately attain genuine existence, thereby rediscovering the joy derived from being in the world. This article aims to investigate what may be termed ‘the hysterical reclamation of the world’ through an analysis grounded in psychoanalytic, feminist, and predominantly phenomenological perspectives on hysteria.
