Offers thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to
deal with pain What can we ask of pain? How can we be more creative
and courageous in carrying pain in our lives? In this genre-bending
work that is equal parts memoir and scholarly criticism, L. Ayu
Saraswati provides thought-provoking theories and life-transforming
ways to understand pain, specifically in relation to feminism.
Arguing that pain is not merely a state we are in, Scarred reframes
pain as a “transnational feminist object,” something that we
can carry across international borders. Drawing on her own
experience traveling across twenty countries within just over a
year, Saraswati aims to bring readers along on her journey so that
they might ask themselves, “How can I live with pain
differently?” By using pain as a lens of feminist analysis,
Scarred allows us to chart how power produces and operates through
pain, and how pain is embodied and embedded in relationships.
Saraswati provides a heartfelt and engaging recount of her
experiences while also pushing the boundaries of the respective
fields her story engages with. She allows for renewed academic and
personal insights to blossom by using a blend of transnational
feminist theory, travel studies, and pain studies. Ultimately,
Scarred invites us to reframe pain and ask how might we carry it in
a more humane, life-sustaining, enchanting, and feminist way.
