    The postbellum period saw many privileged Americans pursuing a civilised ideal premised on insulation from pain. Medico-scientific advances in anesthetics and analgesics and emergent religious sects like Christian Science made pain avoidance seem newly possible. The upper classes could increasingly afford to distance themselves from the suffering they claimed to feel more exquisitely than did their supposedly less refined contemporaries and antecedents. The five US literary realists examined in this study resisted this contemporary revulsion from pain without going so far as to join those who celebrated suffering for its invigorating effects.

"This volume includes a wide range of studies on pain and its representation in texts and non-literary remains of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean, suggesting both the richness and complexity of the topic and the need for scholars to address it from a variety of perspectives. The essays engage the subject of pain and its representation in a multitude of ways, including consideration of the representation of physical pain, of psychological anguish, and the often complex relationship between the two. Several essays focus on the representation of pain in a particular genre of ancient literature such as Greek medical texts, narratives, prophetic texts, poetry, or legal texts. The volume also explores descriptions of concrete pain and the metaphorical use of pain imagery and idioms, as well as pain's relationship to shame, illness and torture. Finally, both communal and individual dimensions of pain are of interest to the contributors, as is the role pain might have had in ritual action and the part rites might play in the imposition of pain."

    Dieser Band enthält ein breites Spektrum an Beiträgen zum Thema Schmerz und seiner Darstellung in Texten und nicht-literarischen Relikten des antiken östlichen Mittelmeerraums. Die Fülle und die Komplexität des Themas zeigt die Notwendigkeit es aus einer Vielzahl von Perspektiven zu betrachten. Die hier gesammelten Aufsätze befassen sich auf vielfältige Weise mit dem Thema Schmerz und seiner Darstellung, einschließlich der Darstellung von körperlichem Schmerz, von psychischen Qualen und der oft komplexen Beziehung zwischen beiden. Mehrere Beiträge konzentrieren sich auf die Darstellung von Schmerz in einer bestimmten Gattung der antiken Literatur wie medizinische Texte, Erzählungen, prophetische Texte, Gedichte oder Gesetzestexte. Der Band untersucht auch Beschreibungen von konkretem Schmerz und den metaphorischen Gebrauch von Schmerzbildern und -idiomen sowie die Beziehung von Schmerz zu Scham, Krankheit und Folter. Schließlich sind sowohl die gemeinschaftlichen als auch die individuellen Dimensionen des Schmerzes für die Beiträger von Interesse, ebenso wie die Rolle von Schmerz in rituellen Handlungen und die Rolle von Riten bei der Auferlegung von Schmerz.InhaltsübersichtMichaela Bauks: The Study of Pain in Historical Anthropology − Saul M.

    The postbellum period saw many privileged Americans pursuing a civilised ideal premised on insulation from pain. Medico-scientific advances in anesthetics and analgesics and emergent religious sects like Christian Science made pain avoidance seem newly possible. The upper classes could increasingly afford to distance themselves from the suffering they claimed to feel more exquisitely than did their supposedly less refined contemporaries and antecedents. The five US literary realists examined in this study resisted this contemporary revulsion from pain without going so far as to join those who celebrated suffering for its invigorating effects.
