Conference: The Pain of Words: Narratives of Suffering in Slavic Cultures (May 9-11, 2008, Princeton)

[pankova+ at PITT.EDU]

I agree that debates on masochism do tend to be tautological.

On the other hand, how could we pinpoint a simple explanation why
"[s]ometimes a man is intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering
-that is a fact"? FMD's take on this would certainly greatly differ from
Freud's (both the earlier one and the later one) which, in turn, differs
from any number of other psychological explanations of masochism.
