Detail Koleksi Space and Embodied Experience: Rethinking the Body in Pain Bibliografi Author: Honkasalo, Marja-Liisa Bahasa: (EN )     Penerbit: Unika Atma Jaya     Tahun Terbit: 2006     Jenis: Article Fulltext: 35BS42.pdf (97,0KB; 1 download) Abstrak In this article I discuss the problem of embodied subjectivity, viewed from the perspective of spatiality. The questions I address arise from my ethnographic study on chronic pain. My main argument is that, in contrast to philosophical understanding of space as an a priori, or as a container, space and spatiality are shaped and reshaped through the body in pain. What characterizes most patients? experiences of space is movement. This can be understood through Merleau-Ponty?s phenomenological theory of the lived body but needs in addition a cultural contextualization. Because of biomedical thinking, in Western settings chronic pain is liminal. It does not fit the biomedical categories of disease or space. This profoundly shapes patients? understanding of their subjectivity as homeless, and their experience of spatiality as estranged and exiled.
