Both themes – “happiness” and “pain” – are at the forefront of current research and cross-disciplinary debates across a range of disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, cultural and communication studies and others. They are also of central interest to practical areas such as nursing, counselling and palliative care.
