Is shame dead? With personal information made so widely available,
an eroding public/private distinction, and a therapeutic turn in
public discourse, many seem to think so. People across the
political spectrum have criticized these developments and sought to
resurrect shame in order to protect privacy and invigorate
democratic politics. Democracy and the Death of Shame reads the
fear that 'shame is dead' as an expression of anxiety about the
social disturbance endemic to democratic politics. Far from an
essential supplement to democracy, the recurring call to 'bring
back shame' and other civilizing mores is a disciplinary reaction
to the work of democratic citizens who extend the meaning of
political equality into social realms. Rereadings from the ancient
Cynics to the mid-twentieth century challenge the view that shame
is dead and show how shame, as a politically charged idea, is
disavowed, invoked, and negotiated in moments of democratic
struggle.
