项目摘要

At all times, the experience of pain is shaped not only by biological, but by social and cultural factors. As such it is subject to historical change. As the vast majority of a population are or have been experiencing pain, and therefore have intimate knowledge of this phenomenon, the ways pain is addressed and incorporated socially and culturally provides insight into societies as a whole. Based on a range of early and high medieval sources, the research project will provide one of the first systematic studies of long-term pain in premodern societies. The focus is on contemporary concepts of corporeality, emotions, and perception, and on the performative dimension of pain. In the Middle Ages, the body was seen as permeable and easily changeable; the experience of pain was closely linked with sensory (as well as transcendent) perceptions, emotional states, (ritual) acts and deeds. The project examines the social meanings, the applicability, and the changes of these concepts between the 6th and 12th centuries. Its aims are to 1. direct attention to pain as a corporeal experience in the Middle Ages; 2. study the emotional and sensorial experience of pain in the Middle Ages; 3. highlight the performative character of pain in medieval cultures. The project focuses on a time period when long-term pain was a widespread phenomenon and the scope of effective pain relief was limited. By examining the culturally and socially shaped experiences of pain over the course of time, the project will advance and deepen the field of premodern disability history as well as our current understanding of pain. It is methodically and thematically innovative in that it combines the historical subjects of pain, disability, and emotions, and brings together the respective methodologies without reverting back to an individualistic model of disability. This approach will be developed and continuously sharpened and evaluated in collaboration with leading researchers in the fields of premodern disability history and the history of emotions at Swansea University. In order to fully explore this new methodological premise, an international, cross-epochal research network “Disability, Pain and Emotions” will be initiated.

在任何时候，痛苦的经历不仅是由生物因素塑造的，也是由社会和文化因素塑造的。因此，它会受到历史变化的影响。由于绝大多数人正在经历或曾经经历痛苦，因此对这一现象有深入的了解，因此，从社会和文化上解决和纳入痛苦的方式提供了对整个社会的洞察。基于一系列早期和中世纪晚期的资料，该研究项目将提供关于前现代社会长期痛苦的第一批系统研究之一。重点是当代的肉体现实、情感和知觉的概念，以及疼痛的行为维度。在中世纪，身体被认为是易渗透和易变的；疼痛的体验与感官(以及超然的)知觉、情感状态、(仪式)行为和行为密切相关。该项目考察了这些概念在6世纪和12世纪之间的社会意义、适用性和变化。其目的是：1.直接关注中世纪疼痛作为一种物质体验；2.研究中世纪疼痛的情感和感官体验；3.突出中世纪文化中疼痛的表演性特征。该项目的重点是长期疼痛是一种普遍现象，有效缓解疼痛的范围有限。通过考察一段时间以来文化和社会形成的疼痛经历，该项目将推进和深化前现代残疾历史领域以及我们目前对疼痛的理解。它在方法和主题上都是创新的，因为它结合了痛苦、残疾和情感的历史主题，并结合了各自的方法，而不是回到残疾的个人主义模式。这一方法将与斯旺西大学前现代伤残史和情感史领域的主要研究人员合作开发并不断改进和评估。为了充分探索这一新的方法学前提，将启动一个跨时代的国际研究网络“残疾、疼痛和情绪”。
