For Freud, hysteria is not..denial of life power; the hysterical subject is rather a..symptom of the Master—what he renders palpable is the primordial deadlock that pertains to the dimension of subjectivity as such and which is concealed by the posture of the Master.

Slavoj Zizek: “Freud’s name for this deadlock, for this authentic kernel of the hysterical theater that eludes Nietzsche’s grasp and undermines from within vita activa, is death drive.” - S.Zizek, Gaze & Voice As Love Objects (via alterities) http://ift.tt/1QjahEm
