This is a book about the meanings we make out of pain The greatest surprise I encountered in discussing this topic over the past ten years was the consistency with which I was asked a single unvarying question Are you writing about physical pain or mental pain The overwhelming consistency of this response convinces me that modern culture rests upon and underlying belief so strong that it grips us with the force of a founding myth Call it the Myth of Two Pains We live in an era when many people believeas a basic unexamined foundation of thoughtthat pain comes divided into separate types physical and mental These two types of pain so the myth goes are as different as land and sea You feel physical pain if your arm breaks and you feel mental pain if your heart breaks Between these two different events we seem to imagine a gulf so wide and deep that it might as well be filled by a sea that is impossible to navigate nbspnbsp

Pain Everyone experiences it yet we have trouble talking about it and science has only recently begun to understand how it works Pain The Fifth Vital Sign is a groundbreaking inquiry into the nature treatment and definition of modern painIn the United States there has been a recent campaign to treat pain as the fifth vital sign Just as temperature respiration pulse and blood pressure the four traditional vital signs must be charted hospitals are now obliged to assess pain in their patients too If this indeed happens it will be nothing less than groundbreakingmaking pain far more visibleBut how has it come about that we spend 24 billion a year in North America on Tylenol Advil and the rest and yet chronic pain is on the rise Why is it that medicine can master intrauterine surgery but it cant help people with bad backs or migraines Pain is the number one reason why people go to the doctors office and the number one reason they come away disappointedFor a long time pain has been a dark continent both in the body and in our culture However medicine is finally learning to evaluate pain as something more than a symptoma main focus rather than a frustrating side issue for doctors In the questing and narrative manner of an Oliver Sacks neurological novel or Sherwin Nulands inquiry into dying Pain The Fifth Vital Sign maps this largely unexplored territory through the stories of people who live with painfrom fibromyalgia to phantom limb painas well as the words of pioneers of pain research and the professional experiences of doctors scientists and nurses Above all Pain The Fifth Vital Sign makes an elusive subject vivid and readable We all know what pain is Now it has a voice

A compelling account of recreating a life through writing memory and desire In the early evening on October 1 2003 Christina Crosby was three miles into a seventeen mile bicycle ride intent on reaching her goal of 1000 miles for the riding season She was a respected senior professor of English who had celebrated her fiftieth birthday a month before As she crested a hill she caught a branch in the spokes of her bicycle which instantly pitched her to the pavement Her chin took the full force of the blow and her head snapped back In that instant she was paralyzedIn A Body Undone Crosby puts into words a broken body that seems beyond the reach of language and understanding She writes about a body shot through with neurological pain disoriented in time and space incapacitated by paralysis and deadened sensation To address this foreign body she calls upon the readerly pleasures of narrative critical feminist and queer thinking and the concentrated language of lyric poetry Working with these resources she recalls her 1950s tomboy ways in smalltown rural Pennsylvania and records growing into the 1970s through radical feminism and the affirmations of gay liberationDeeply unsentimental Crosby communicates in unflinching prose the experience of diving into the wreck of her body to acknowledge grief and loss but also to recognize the beauty fragility and dependencies of all human bodies A memoir that is a meditation on disability metaphor gender sex and love A Body Undone is a compelling account of living on as Crosby rebuilds her body and fashions a life through writing memory and desire

Why has the West for so long and in so many different ways expressed the idea that the Chinese have a special relationship to cruelty and to physical pain What can the history of that idea and its expressions teach us about the politics of the Wests contemporary relation to China And what does it tell us about the philosophy of modernity The Hypothetical Mandarin is in some sense a history of the Western imagination It is also a history of the interactions between Enlightenment philosophy of globalization of human rights and of the idea of the modern Beginning with Bianchon and Rastignacs discussion of whether the former would if he could obtain a European fortune by killing a Chinese mandarin in Balzacs Le Pere Goriot 1835 the book traces a series of literary and historical examples in which Chinese life and European sympathy seem to hang in one anothers balance Hayots wideranging discussion draws on accounts of torture on medical case studies travelers tales photographs plasticized corpses polemical broadsides watercolors and on oil paintings His analyses show that the historical connection between sympathy and humanity and indeed between sympathy and reality has tended to refract with a remarkable frequency through the lens called China and why the story of the Wests Chinese pain goes to the heart of the relation between language and the body and the social experience of the modern human being Written in an ebullient prose The Hypothetical Mandarin demonstrates how the network that intertwines China sympathy and modernity continues to shape the economic and human experience

This book presents a study of the ways in which concepts of pain were treated across a broad range of late Victorian writing placing literary texts alongside sermons medical textbooks and the campaigning leaflets Pain is not a shared crosscultural phenomenon and this book uses the examples of firewalking flogging and tattooing to show that despite the fact that pain is often invoked as a marker of shared human identity understandings of pain are sharply affected by class gender race and supposed degree of criminality In arguing this case Virginia Woolfs claim that there is no language for pain is taken seriously but the importance of this book lies in its exploration of the ways in which the seemingly incommunicable experience of bodily suffering can be conveyed
