Introduction
Discussing the historical, social and psychological dimensions of pain.
How do we talk about pain and how has the way we do so changed over time? How hard is it to describe pain and how can putting pain into words impact on a person’s mental state? What is the public face of pain in a society at risk and in crisis? How do different disciplines—Medicine, Biology, History, Anthropology and Art History—refer to pain? What light can interdisciplinary discussion shine on pain?
Entrance to all the events in the “Talks and Thoughts” Cycle is free and on a first come, first served basis.
The distribution of entrance tickets begins one (1) hour before each event.
Simultaneous translation is provided in the case of speakers using a language other than Greek.
Speakers
Moderated by Dimitris Papanikolaou, Associate Professor of Modern Greek Studies, University of Oxford
