This book offers a cross-disciplinary approach to pain and suffering in the early modern period, based on research in the fields of literary studies, art history, theatre studies, cultural history and the study of emotions. The volume's two-fold approach to the hurt body, defining 'hurt' from the perspectives of both victim and beholder - as well as their combined creation of a gaze - is unique. It establishes a double perspective about the riddle of 'cruel' viewing by tracking the shifting cultural meanings of victims' bodies, and confronting them to the values of audiences, religious and popular institutional settings and practices of punishment. It encompasses both the victim's presence as an image or performed event of pain and the conundrum of the look - the transmitted 'pain' experienced by the watching audience Ce livre offre une approche interdisciplinaire de la douleur et de la souffrance au début de la période moderne, basée sur la recherche dans les domaines des études littéraires, de l'histoire de l'art, des études théâtrales, de l'histoire culturelle et de l'étude des émotions. La double approche du volume du corps blessé, qui définit ±blessé du point de vue de la victime et du spectateur - ainsi que la création combinée d'un regard - est unique. Il établit une double perspective sur l'énigme de la vision ±cruelle en suivant les significations culturelles changeantes des corps des victimes et en les confrontant aux valeurs du public, des contextes institutionnels religieux et populaires et des pratiques de punition. Il englobe à la fois la présence de la victime comme une image ou un événement de douleur et l'énigme du regard - la ±douleur transmise par le public observateur
