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 rolesČlanek s feministično-kulturolosˇke kriticˇne 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 druzˇbah. Z lokalno zamejeno digitalno etnografijo (33 zˇenskih pripovedi, objavljenih na spletni strani Drusˇtva za ozavesˇcˇanje o endometriozi – Endozavest med 16. 1. 2017 in 21. 4. 2023), ki jo podpirajo sekundarni viri, se predstavi in kontekstualizira tri nacˇine dojemanja in upravljanja z zˇensko bolecˇino: dramatizirane bolecˇine, dusˇevne bolezeni in »zˇenskega primanjkljaja«. Članek osvetljuje vlogo fizicˇne bolecˇine znotraj medicinskega sistema, ki s tem, ko ohranja telesa v bolecˇini, zˇenske potiska v nezazˇeljene seksualne in reproduktivne patriarhalne vlogeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko sociološko društvo
