Honor is misunderstood in the social sciences. The literature lacks
both accuracy and precision in its conceptual development such that
we no longer say what we mean because we have no idea what we're
saying. We use many terms to mean honor and mean many different
ideas when we refer to honor. Honor: A Phenomenology is designed to
fix all of these problems. A ground-breaking examination of honor
as a metaphenomenon, this book incorporates various structures of
social control including prestige, face, shame and affiliated honor
and the rejection of said structures by dignified individuals and
groups. It shows honor to be a concept that encompasses a number of
processes that operate together in order to structure society.
Honor is how we are inscribed with social value by others and the
means by which we inscribe others with social honor. Because it is
the means by which individuals fit in and function with society,
the main divisions internal (within the psyche of the individual
and external (within the norms and institutions of society). Honor
is the glue that holds groups together and the wedge that forces
them apart; it defines who is us and who them. It accounts for the
continuity and change in socio-political systems.
