Routledge - Beyond the Rhetoric of Pain - Warwick Series

Beyond the Rhetoric of Pain offers an interdisciplinary exploration of pain through a wide range of scholarly lenses. As part of the Warwick Series in the Humanities, this volume moves past traditional academic boundaries to examine how pain is expressed and understood across different fields of study. This collection brings together fourteen unique essays that bridge the gap between Literature, Film and Media, Game Studies, and Art History. It also incorporates perspectives from Hispanic Studies, Memory Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Philosophy, and Law. By combining these diverse viewpoints, the book examines new ways to think about the language, practice, and ethics of responding to pain. Whether you are researching the sociology of suffering or the philosophical implications of physical sensation, this volume provides a comprehensive look at current research. It is a valuable resource for students and academics looking to understand how pain is framed within modern culture and human experience.
