Book Description:
|
Brings into mutual dialogue several existing strands of the study of pain and embodied violence. The volume's two-fold approach, themed both on the hurt and hurt-inducing body, is unique. It encompasses both the victim's presence as an image or performed event of pain and the transmitted burden or 'pain' experienced by the watching audience.
