In dit boek gaat de auteur in op de geschiedenis van de aantrekkingskracht, angst voor en afschuw van lichamelijk lijden. Lichamelijk lijden is een van de meest ingrijpende menselijke ervaringen. Het roept op tot reflectie en vragen naar de zin van het bestaan. Pijn is net als de liefde een bron van angst en leed, wanhoop en eenzaamheid, verlangen en fascinatie, kunst en literatuur. Iedereen weet wat pijn is, maar dat maakt het fenomeen niet minder raadselachtig. Vandaag ervaren mensen pijn als een belemmering van hun persoonlijke ontwikkeling en zoektocht naar geluk. Tegelijkertijd is juist de gedeelde angst voor en afschuw van pijn voor sommige mensen reden haar te omarmen. Terwijl de meesten van ons bij het geringste pijntje naar pillen grijpen, reiken performancekunstenaars naar de uiterste grenzen van pijnbeleving. In Pijn. De terugkeer naar het paradijs en de wens er weer uit te ontsnappen gaat Amanda Kluveld in op de geschiedenis van de aantrekkingskracht, angst voor en afschuw van lichamelijk lijden. Een uniek boek over een belangrijk onderwerp.

What is the role of the humanities at the start of 21st century? In the last few decades, the various disciplines of the humanities (history, linguistics, literary studies, art history, media studies) have encountered a broad range of challenges, related to the future of print culture, to shifts in funding strategies, and to the changing contours of culture and society. Several publications have addressed these challenges as well as potential responses on a theoretical level. This coedited volume opts for a different strategy and presents accessible case studies that demonstrate what humanities scholars contribute to concrete and pressing social debates about topics including adoption, dementia, hacking, and conservation. These “engaged” forms of humanities research reveal the continued importance of thinking and rethinking the nature of art, culture, and public life.
