Sabina Spielrein i verklighet och fiktion : Kvinnorepresentationer i centrum för en studie av pjäsen Namn: Spielrein Sabina

This thesis discusses how a historic woman is represented on stage today. The woman in mind is Sabina Spielrein, and she is portrayed in a play called: Name: Spielrein Sabina. She was born in the late 19th century and made a significant impact on the development in psycho-analysis. Since her letters, diaries and fragments was found 1977, and later on in 1982, nu-merous of people have been fascinated regarding her life, especially with her relation to Jung and Freud. One of my arguments is that there could be another story to tell, as she is living in a context when women were organized and struggled for their rights on many levels. It is a period when a new type of women is formulated, with new visions on society, morals and sexuality. This New Woman discourse was intense all over Europe. With representation as a theoretical instrument it was possible to see how this play challenges several typical women images. By using the character Sabina I have looked at (stereo) types such as: the good daughter, the mad woman, the genius, the mistress, the wife and the mother. Putting Sabina Spielrein in focus has also made it possible to discuss around cultural power, how it works and the importance of who is in charge.
