Et si la douleur n\u2019\u00e9tait pas l\u2019ennemie du plaisir, mais son seuil le plus trouble.<\/p>\n
Dans Les Amoureux de la douleur<\/em>, Pierre Dheur avance une hypoth\u00e8se qui bouscule la morale autant que la philosophie : plaisir et douleur ne seraient pas des contraires, mais deux degr\u00e9s d\u2019un m\u00eame ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne de sensibilit\u00e9. \u00c0 partir de cette id\u00e9e, il suit une piste d\u00e9rangeante et fascinante : comment certains \u00eatres en viennent-ils non pas \u00e0 supporter la souffrance, mais \u00e0 la rechercher, \u00e0 l\u2019aimer, parfois comme la condition m\u00eame de leur joie.<\/p>\n M\u00e9decin de son si\u00e8cle, Dheur ouvre un dossier clinique o\u00f9 se croisent la physiologie, la psychologie, et l\u2019histoire des passions. Il observe des morphinomanes pour qui la piq\u00fbre devient \u00ab assaisonnement \u00bb indispensable, des ali\u00e9n\u00e9s qui s\u2019entaillent avec calme, des m\u00e9lancoliques que la blessure soulage, mais aussi des mystiques chez qui le martyre s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve en extase. Jusqu\u2019aux convulsionnaires de Saint-M\u00e9dard, r\u00e9clamant des \u00ab secours \u00bb d\u2019une violence inou\u00efe, comme si le supplice pouvait devenir une pri\u00e8re du corps.<\/p>\n Le livre explore enfin les territoires plus sombres du d\u00e9sir : masochisme, sadisme, f\u00e9tichisme. Dheur y voit moins une galerie de vices qu\u2019une m\u00eame logique d\u2019intensit\u00e9, o\u00f9 la conscience morale se d\u00e9branche, o\u00f9 l\u2019habitude et l\u2019association font de la douleur une cl\u00e9, o\u00f9 l\u2019organisme, affam\u00e9 de sensation, ne r\u00e9pond plus qu\u2019aux chocs.<\/p>\n Dheur \u00e9crit avec l\u2019assurance d\u2019un clinicien et l\u2019audace d\u2019un penseur. Son vocabulaire appartient \u00e0 son \u00e9poque, mais son intuition frappe encore : la sensibilit\u00e9 humaine est plastique, et l\u2019esprit sait convertir l\u2019alarme en appel. Un livre rare, \u00e0 la fois inqui\u00e9tant et lumineux, qui oblige \u00e0 regarder en face une question que l\u2019on pr\u00e9f\u00e8re d\u2019ordinaire contourner : que cherchons-nous, au juste, quand nous cherchons l\u2019intensit\u00e9 ?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pierre Dheur soutient que plaisir et douleur rel\u00e8vent d\u2019un m\u00eame continuum de sensibilit\u00e9 et que, chez certains sujets, l\u2019effacement de l\u2019\u00ab \u00e9l\u00e9ment moral \u00bb convertit la souffrance en excitant recherch\u00e9, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019extase mystique ou sexuelle.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2031,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[165,724,51,69,2483],"product_tag":[2750,2753,2757,2752,2754,2755,2761,2759,2749,2758,2756,2751,2748,2760,2179],"class_list":["post-2029","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-anthropologie","product_cat-psychanalyse","product_cat-psychologie","product_cat-sociologie","product_cat-soins-de-sante","product_tag-algophilie","product_tag-continuum-plaisir-douleur","product_tag-convulsionnaires-de-saint-medard","product_tag-douleur-et-plaisir","product_tag-element-moral-de-la-douleur","product_tag-erethisme-nerveux","product_tag-histoire-de-la-psychopathologie","product_tag-krafft-ebing","product_tag-les-amoureux-de-la-douleur","product_tag-masochisme","product_tag-mysticisme-et-extase","product_tag-perversion-de-la-sensibilite","product_tag-pierre-dheur","product_tag-psychiatrie-du-xixe-siecle","product_tag-sadisme","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","first","instock","downloadable","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
