Pain is a deeply subjective experience that includes sensory, emotional, social, historical, and cultural components. The presence of suffering in the idiom of pain exposes the gap between individual bodies that refuse to suffer quietly and the violence of indifferent social, economic, and political orders. In this essay I describe the existential suffering of Brazilian sugarcane cutters who transform the unbearable shame of hunger into a more acceptable bodily syndrome of nervous rage. Who, after all, wants to suffer and die like a dog? My second example of the precariousness of pain is the muted suffering and longing of impoverished kidney sellers in Moldova who suffer a missing kidney that they experience as an angry and ghostly organ that will not allow the sellers to forget what they have done to themselves.

伤口上的一根手指:疼痛,疤痕和痛苦

疼痛是一种深刻的主观体验,包括感觉,情感,社会,历史和文化成分。在痛苦的成语中,痛苦的存在暴露了拒绝安静地受苦的各个身体与漠不关心的社会,经济和政治秩序之间的暴力之间的鸿沟。在这篇文章中,我描述了巴西甘蔗切割工人的生存苦难,他们将无法忍受的饥饿感转变为更容易接受的神经怒的身体综合症。毕竟,谁愿意像狗一样遭受痛苦并死去?我第二个关于痛苦的car可危的例子是摩尔多瓦的肾脏贩子贫困者的痛苦和渴望,他们遭受了肾脏的缺失,他们经历了愤怒和幽灵般的器官,使他们无法忘记自己对自己的所作所为。
