This is interesting. If I didn't have to work I would go.
Public Lecture: Professor Leigh Gilmore
86 million people worldwide have been diagnosed as
suffering from chronic pain, and the number is rising. As
chronic pain has increased, memoirs about the experience
have begun to appear. This talk examines a cluster of
chronic pain memoirs as a site for negotiating agency in the
face of irremediable pain, and the interleaving at this site of
biomedicine and narrative structure. Autobiography studies
and feminist posthumanism help to frame this inquiry into
the figuration of gendered embodiment and temporality in
chronic pain memoirs.
