Pain research is still dominated by biomedical perspectives and the
need to articulate pain in ways other than those offered by
evidence based medical models is pressing. Examining closely
subjective experiences of pain, this book explores the way in which
pain is situated, communicated and formed in a larger cultural and
social context. Dimensions of Pain explores the lived experience of
pain, and questions of identity and pain, from a range of different
disciplinary perspectives within the humanities and social
sciences. Discussing the acuity and temporality of pain, its
isolating impact, the embodied expression of pain, pain and
sexuality, gender and ethnicity, it also includes a cluster of
three chapters discusses the phenomenon and experience of labour
pains. This volume revitalizes the study of pain, offering
productive ways of carefully thinking through its different aspects
and exploring the positive and enriching side of world-forming pain
as well as its limiting aspects. It will be of interest to
academics and students interested in pain from a range of
backgrounds, including philosophy, sociology, nursing, midwifery,
medicine and gender studies.
