Unapparent to the unpracticed eye or diagnostic image, it is denied the status of \u201creal\u201d suffering given to visually confirmable disorders. It is my customary mode of existence: a contingent landscape of swinging bridges that may or may not give way, everything a potential threat or deprivation. I don\u2019t express it within the framework of acute pain, but I am evaluated by traditional biomedical standards anyway.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Ultimately, the diagnostic image of pain, and the medical and academic discourse used to interpret it, determines my functionality. Such a stance dismisses bodily senses and alternate ways of knowing in pursuit of the ocularcentric objectivity promised by digital health technologies, whose vision remains chained to the interpretive, discursive strategies of human operators and interpreters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A new poetics of pain is critical not only for rewriting the dominant metaphors that construct and delimit our imaginings of pain but also for rewiring the use and reading of digital technologies, wherein the digital image becomes the new site of the hermeneutic exercise, even when the suffering body lies in plain view. This facilitates a failure to listen and touch in patient care, and the imposition of a narrative based on visual evidence, translated into sanitized language, at the cost of intercorporeality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>If pain strips sufferers of a voice, my body and its affects should be allowed to speak.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2055207617708860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,22]],"date-time":"2017-05-22T07:18:51Z","timestamp":1495437531000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["What we see when we digitize pain: The risk of valorizing image-based representations of fibromyalgia over body and bodily experience"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Vyshali","family":"Manivannan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Information and Library Studies, Rutgers University School of Communication and Information, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2055207617708860","volume-title":"The white album","author":"Didion J","year":"1979"},{"key":"bibr2-2055207617708860","volume-title":"The birth of the clinic","author":"Foucault M","year":"1973"},{"key":"bibr3-2055207617708860","volume-title":"The ethnographic I: A methodological novel about autoethnography","author":"Ellis C","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr4-2055207617708860","volume":"9","author":"Gibbs A","year":"2000","journal-title":"Text"},{"key":"bibr5-2055207617708860","first-page":"151","volume":"2","author":"Yergeau M","year":"2014","journal-title":"Kairos"},{"key":"bibr6-2055207617708860","volume-title":"Hearing and the hospital: Sound, listening, knowledge, and experience","author":"Rice T","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr7-2055207617708860","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(98)00418-3"},{"key":"bibr8-2055207617708860","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2005.11.009"},{"key":"bibr9-2055207617708860","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10572250903149555"},{"key":"bibr10-2055207617708860","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.110142"},{"key":"bibr11-2055207617708860","first-page":"35","volume-title":"Sentient performativities of embodiment: Thinking alongside the human","author":"Dumit J","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr12-2055207617708860","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781400827503"},{"key":"bibr13-2055207617708860","volume-title":"The transparent body: A cultural analysis of medical imaging","author":"van Dijck J","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr14-2055207617708860","unstructured":"Bolt D.
