20.500.12556/RUL-177135 “Dramatic”, “crazy”, and “unworthy” women endometriosis and the (medical) perceptions of female pain »Dramatične«, »nore« in »problematične« ženske Taking a critical feminist cultural studies approach, this article describes, analyses, reflects and theorises women’s pain in the case of endometriosis. Western historical discourses on endometriosis over the last 2,500 years offer a basis for analysing the position the disease holds in contemporary society. Using locally limited digital ethnography (the stories of 33 women published on the website of Endozavest – Society for Raising Awareness for Endometriosis between 16 January 2017 and 24 April 2023), supported by secondary sources, three ways in which women’s pain is perceived and managed are presented and contextualised: dramatised pain, mental illness, and “female deficit”. The article reveals how patriarchal violence within the medical system perpetuates aspects of physical pain that directly/indirectly discipline women’s bodies and push them into a variety of unwanted sexual and reproductive roles. Članek s feministično-kulturološke kritične pozicije opisuje, analizira, reflektira in teoretizira žensko bolečino na primeru endometrioze. Zgodovinski diskurzi o endometriozi, ki so (bili) prisotni na zahodu zadnjih 2500 let, ponujajo podstat za analizo endometrioze v sodobnih družbah. Z lokalno zamejeno digitalno etnografijo (33 ženskih pripovedi, objavljenih na spletni strani Društva za ozaveščanje o endometriozi – Endozavest med 16. 1. 2017 in 21. 4. 2023), ki jo podpirajo sekundarni viri, se predstavi in kontekstualizira tri načine dojemanja in upravljanja z žensko bolečino: dramatizirane bolečine, duševne bolezeni in »ženskega primanjkljaja«. Članek osvetljuje vlogo fizične bolečine znotraj medicinskega sistema, ki s tem, ko ohranja telesa v bolečini, ženske potiska v nezaželjene seksualne in reproduktivne patriarhalne vloge. endometriosis female pain medical violence contemorary perceptions of femininity unwanted patriarchal roles endometrioza ženska bolečina medicinsko nasilje sodobne percepcije ženskosti neželene patriarhalne vloge true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-16 15:25:32 2025-12-16 15:25:39 2025-12-28 04:02:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 43-64 št. 108/109 Letn. 41 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-01 314.35:613.9 0352-3608 10.51936/dr.41.108-109.43-64 259367427 RAZ_Kosi_Teja_2025.pdf RAZ_Kosi_Teja_2025.pdf 1 28011AF8A8EBFEEEB2D89241F7F0EDE3 11155a9db1a366ff9ce148b967f7dd5aba0e76c8cec1ab3eda13a84ee916b083 aa575e04-da8a-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223989 https://www.sociolosko-drustvo.si/stevilka-108-109/ 1 a9da2de1-da8a-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223988 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
