Scarry Analyzes The Political Ramifications Of Deliberately Inflicted Pain, Specifically In The Cases Of Torture And Warfare, And Shows How To Be Fictive. From These Actions Of Unmaking Scarry Turns Finally To The Actions Of MakingThe Examples Of Artistic And Cultural Creation That Work Against Pain And The Debased Uses That Are Made Of It.
