Original essays are invited for a collection of essays tentatively
entitled The Productivity of Pain. For long, pain has been coded as a

it has been objectified as the truth´s negative, something that far from
ennobling human beings distances them from their affects. The logic is
not hard to stomach. Pain poses a threat to identity by making the body
alien. Sartre, in fact, confessed that illness deprived him of himself.
But, within the same movement, pain confers identity to the individual
