Catharsis was introduced by Aristotle meaning the process of relieving strong feelings eg through drama or other artistic activities, targeting provision of relief from anger or suffering.
eg: Actor's or artist's state of mind may go thru catharsis while they're on the set shooting a emotionally intense movie after a break up in private life.In psychology, catharsis is the rearticulation and reconfiguration of desires and passions into a new ideological/philosophical framework: the achievement of a new, revolutionary formation of desire (Gramscian theory)
