Recenzje

The research offers many spurs to further thought. As it is, it not only is a book that develops the field's knowledge and understanding of the history and meanings of pain within the context of the medical humanities, but also a piece of work that introduces and theorizes new forms of political subjecthood that the carapace of nineteenth-century liberalism might otherwise obscure.
