Inhalt
What does the word pain resonate with? Is the word pain only relevant for medical science and treatment? How do people make sense of pain? How are bodily and psychological forms of pain intertwined? How do people express pain in words? Are pain and suffering inexplicable? What languages do we use in describing pain, how do we read or even inherit the pain and suffering of others? How does contemporary literature and culture represent the pain and suffering of others?

This seminar will draw attention to the study of pain and suffering from a multidisciplinary approach in dialogue with literature, culture, and media. We will begin the semester with an overview of the concept of pain from medical science and psychoanalytic studies perspectives to the most recent focus on representation and literary theoretical works on pain. Subsequently, we will discuss more recent developments in the study of pain, looking at the ways in which they are relevant for today’s worldview.

Each session will start with a short student presentation followed by discussions of significant texts. For the success of this class, it is paramount that all of the assigned texts be read and prepared carefully.
