Elaine Scarry
Part philosophical meditation, part cultural critique, this profoundly original work explores the nature of physical suffering. Elaine Scarry bases her study on a wide range of sources: literature and art, medical case histories, documents on torture compiled by Amnesty International, legal transcripts of personal injury trials, and military and strategic writings by such figures as Clausewitz, Churchill, Liddell Hart, and Henry Kissinger. Scarry begins with the fact of pain's inexpressibility. Not only is physical pain difficult to describe in words, it also actively destroys language, reducing sufferers in the most extreme cases to an inarticulate state of cries and moans. Scarry goes on to analyse the political ramifications of deliberately inflicted pain, specifically in the cases of warfare and torture, and she demonstrates how political regimes use the power of physical pain to attack and break down the sufferer's sense of self. Finally she turns to examples of artistic and cultural activity; actions achieved in the face of pain and difficulty.

Inspired by Sweetness and Power, in wbich Sidney Mintz traces tbe colonial and mercantilist routes of enslaving tastes and artificial needs, tbis paper maps a late-aoth-century global trade in bodies, body parts, desires, and invented scarcities. Organ transplant takes place today in a transnational space witb surgeons, patients, organ donors, recipients, brokers, and intermediaries—some witb criminal connections—following new patbs of capital and technology in the global economy. The stakes are high, for tbe technologies and practices of transplant surgery bave demonstrated tbeir power to reconceptualize tbe buman body and the relations of hody parts to tbe wbole and to the person and of people and bodies to eacb other. Tbe phenomenal spread of these technologies and tbe artificial needs, scarcities, and new commodities (i.e., fresb organs) tbat they inspire —especially witbin tbe context of a triumphant neoliberalism—raise many issues central to antbropology's concern with global dominations and local resistances, including tbe reordering of relations hetween individual bodies and the state, hetween gifts and commodities, between fact and rumor, and between medicine and magic in postmodernity.
