Language Pangs challenges these familiar conceptions and offers a radical reconsideration of the relationship between pain and language in terms of an essential interconnectedness. 0Ilit Ferber's premise is that we cannot probe the experience of pain without taking account its inherent relation to language; and vice versa, that our understanding of the nature of language essentially depends on how we take account of its correspondence with pain. Language Pangs brings together discussions of philosophical as well as literary texts, an intersection that is especially productive in considering the phenomenology of pain and its bearing on language. Ferber explores a 0phenomenology of pain and its relation to language, before providing a unique close reading of Johann Gottfried Herder's Treatise on the Origin of Language, the first modern philosophical text to consider language and pain, establishing the cry of pain as the origin of language. Herder also raises important claims regarding the relationship between human and animal, questions of sympathy and the role of hearing in the expression of pain. Beyond Herder, the book grapples with the work of other profound thinkers, including Martin Heidegger, Stanley Cavell, and Andre Gide, and finally, Sophocles, from them weaving new insights on the experience of pain, expression, sympathy, and hearing. 650 0 $a Senses and sensation. 650 0 $a Pain $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Phenomenology. 600 10 $a Herder, Johann Gottfried, $d 1744-1803. 600 10 $a Herder, Johann Gottfried, $d 1744-1803. $t Abhandlung uÌber den Ursprung der Sprache. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Origin. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Philosophy. 600 17 $a Herder, Johann Gottfried, $d 1744-1803. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00047505 630 07 $a Abhandlung uÌber den Ursprung der Sprache (Herder, Johann Gottfried) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01360501 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ferber, Ilit, author. $t Language pangs. $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2019. $z 9780190053888 $w (DLC) 2019981162 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003013829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC3BD16ECFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
