CFP: Special Issue of Literature and Medicine on Narrative, Pain
 and Suffering**deadline extension**(7/1/04)

Narrative, Pain, and Suffering
Volume 24, Number 1
Literature and Medicine
Issue Editors: Tod Chambers and Martha Stoddard-Holmes

Both medicine and literature care caught up in the problematics of pain:
its verifiability (What does it mean to say that pain is authentic,
imagined, hallucinated, or faked?); its relation to language and other
expression (How does pain produce, strain, or erase representation?);
its transgressive properties (Where might pain exceed the limits of an
individual nervous system or undermine traditional categories of body
and mind?); and its power to disrupt or to reconstitute selves and
communities (What can we learn by regarding pain as performative or
interpersonal?).

This special issue of Literature and Medicine will foreground pain,
representation, and the social body. We encourage the submission of
papers engaging any aspect of medical culture related to pain, including
nonwestern medical cultures.

Deadline for submission: 1 July 2004
