Sur l'impossibilité d'exprimer la douleur,
lu in A Philosophy of Pain by Arne Johan Vetlesen :
"pain resists language, .. since it is unsuitable for the kind of objectivization on which language depends. Absolute or total pain involves the annihilation of language; from a political perspective, the targeted infliction of pain on particular victims is a method of annihilating their language, their language as gheir specific cultural way of being. In the world, of having, talking about and interpreting a world (world for Scarry). So pain, as the pain in the person who experiences it, is "inexpressible". It is significant that we, as we fumble in our atemps to find words for pain, use phrases like "it is as if..." or it feels now as if..." without ever precisely being able to grasp this thing that pain is similar to. We have an urge to make something that can be communicated and shared out of what above everything else in our lives is originally internal and not capable of being shared."
la douleur est douleur des douleurs (Jacques Brault)
