Abstract

Advances in scientific research enable chronic pain to be understood as a form of body memory. Inquiring into chronic pain can expand our understanding of the processes of memory and, in particular, can illuminate configurations of modern and postmodern memory as they are constructed and mediated through mundane, concrete and corporeal experiences.
