520 8 In this 'Very Short Introduction', Rob Boddice explores
the history, culture, and medical science of pain.
Charting the shifting meanings of pain across time and
place, he focusses on how the experience and treatment of
pain have changed. He describes historical hierarchies of
pain experience that related pain to social class and race,
and the privileging of human states of pain over that of
other animals. From the pain concepts of classical
antiquity to expressions of pain in contemporary art, and
modern medical approaches to the understanding, treatment,
and management of pain, Boddice weaves a multifaceted
account of this central human experience. Ranging from
neuroscientific innovations in experimental medicine to
the constructionist arguments of social scientists, pain
is shown to resist a timeless definition. Pain is physical
and emotional, of body and mind, and is always experienced
subjectively and contextually.--|cSource other than
