“…Analysis of this data, incorporating responses to visual imagery revealed that the meanings and definitions of pain for both men and women were not confined to physical sensations, but included feelings and emotions, also spiritual and existential notions. Priel et al (1991) demonstrate how the patient in pain needs to find a meaning for their symptoms, even if it is 'dysfunctional'. Without such a meaning feelings of despair and isolation may develop.…”

This research explores the relationship between perceptions of pain and the social characteristics of the individual, with a focus on the role of gender in the process, with an emphasis on the meaning of 'lay' understanding of the phenomena of pain. In order to broaden the definition of pain a multi-method form of enquiry was adopted and significant gender differences were found in the emphasis on the role of the emotions and the social expectations of the ability to cope in experiences and perceptions of pain. Analysis of the qualitative fieldwork revealed how experiences of pain incorporate feelings and vulnerabilities, existential and religious beliefs as well the sensory components. The attribution, by both sexes, of the superior capacities of women in coping with pain are linked to their biological and reproductive functioning, but are underpinned by cultural expectations of roles and socialisation. The 'findings' of the study both reflect the particular experiences of people living in a multi-racial inner-city area, and provide a basis for developing new approaches to the understanding of pain, and the relationships between pain, gender, culture and embodiment.

“…Jak się okazuje, sensowność przeżywania bólu, nadanie sensu swoim doświadczeniom jest bardzo istotnym elementem tego doświadczania i interpretowania. Nawet jeśli te przekonania są destrukcyjne i z perspektywy lekarza niekorzystne dla procesu leczenia, pozwalają one zachować tożsamość jednostki (Priel i in. 1991, zob.…”

Summary This study is part of a larger project focused on the 19th-century understanding of national identity, Polishness, the idea of a community and the idea of a state. The article examines some historiographic texts of Adam Mickiewicz’s First Series of Lectures on Slavic Literature (December 1840–June 1841), Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s Lectures on Civilisation in Poland (1861) and Cyprian Norwid’s ‘Boga-Rodzica’ [Bogurodzica] – a literary-historical interpretation (1873). Although these writers held widely opposed views, their portrayals of Poland’s history seem to have a lot in common. The texts analyzed here are remarkably consistent in their representations of Poland, the nation and the state, on its long historic road before the fatal partitions; they also show the importance of the Age of the Piasts and the Age of the Jagiellons for the 19th-century reflection on Polish identity.

“…En la FM, como en la histeria, resulta esencial atendender al valor simbólico y comunicacional del dolor y de la queja (46). Pero si carecemos de la complejidad conceptual que la histeria nos aporta, el sufrimiento de los afectados, el soportado por sus familiares y, especialmente, por sus parejas (47, 39) -y que, por otro lado, tampoco debería ser escuchado con ingenuidad (48)-, la crispación y frustración del médico y la desesperación y extenuación del paciente que se despliegan en el encuentro que tiene lugar en el escenario de la consulta (49)(50)(51)(52)(53)46), todo aquello que debe ser escuchado y comprendido y que nos permitirá, cuando menos, no dañar, quedará entre brumas.…”

Toda sociedad tiene su régimen de verdad, su «política general» acerca de la verdad, es decir, los tipos de discurso que acepta y hace funcionar como verdad» Michel Foucault INTRODUCCIÓNLa Fibromialgia (FM) es un síndrome de dolor crónico de etiología desconocida. Su diagnóstico se basa en evaluaciones subjetivas, sin que sea posible aportar hallazgos concluyentes en las pruebas radiológicas o de laboratorio. Clínicamente se caracteriza por dolor musculoesquelético difuso. Aunque puede en principio estar localizado (habitualmente en nuca y hombros), son muchos los grupos musculares susceptibles de verse afectados. El dolor es crónico y persistente, si bien son fre-Javier Ramos García FIBROMIALGIA: ¿LA HISTERIA EN EL CAPITALISMO DE FICCIÓN? FIBROMYALGIA: HYSTERIA IN FICTION CAPITALISM? RESUMEN Se analiza el contexto social, político, mediático y científico en el que la Fibromialgia aparece como un fenómeno de amplio impacto. Se propone una mirada desde un modelo biopsicosocial y se sugiere que este conglomerado sintomático pueda haberse constituido en el destino de la histeria en el siglo XXI.
