Few emotions have divided opinion as deeply as shame. Some scholars
have argued that shame is essentially a maladaptive emotion used to
oppress minorities and reinforce stigmas and traumas, an emotion
that leaves the self at the mercy of powerful others. Other
scholars, however, have argued that the absence of a sense of shame
in a subject-their shamelessness-is tantamount to a vicious moral
insensitivity. As the twelve original chapters in this collection
attest, however, shame scholars are entering a new phase, one in
which scholarship no longer attempts to defend one side of shame
against the other, but rather accepts both faces as faithful to the
phenomenon to be explained. At the core of our understanding of
shame there are profound disagreements about the importance of the
Other in shaping our moral identity. As this collection shows by
its study of shame, the difficulty of the connection between Self,
Other, and morality spans over millennia and cultures and currently
animates important debates at the core of feminism and disability
studies. Contributors: Mark Alfano, Alessandra Fussi, Lorenzo
