Abstract

Na dor, manifesta-se claramente a relação entre o indivíduo e a sociedade. As formas de sentir e de expressar a dor são regidas por códigos culturais e a própria dor, como fato humano, constitui-se a partir dos significados conferidos pela coletividade, que sanciona as formas de manifestação dos sentimentos. Embora singular para quem a sente, a dor se insere num universo de referências simbólicas, configurando um fato cultural.In the pain, the relation between the individual and society appears clearly. The way in which pain is felt and expressed is ruled by cultural codes and pain itself is constituted, as a human fact, by the meanings given to it by society, that sanctions the ways to demonstrate feelings. Although pain is a singular experience for the one who feels it, it happens within a symbolic system, making it a cultural fact.
