Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
On any given day in America's news cycle, stories and images of
disgraced politicians and celebrities solicit our moral
indignation, their misdeeds fueling a lucrative economy of shame
and scandal. Shame is one of the most coercive, painful, and
intriguing of human emotions. Only in recent years has interest in
shame extended beyond a focus on the subjective experience of this
emotion and its psychological effects. The essays collected here
consider the role of shame as cultural practice and examine ways
that public shaming practices enforce conformity and group
coherence. Addressing abortion, mental illness, suicide,
immigration, and body image among other issues, this volume calls
attention to the ways shaming practices create and police social
boundaries; how shaming speech is endorsed, judged, or challenged
by various groups; and the distinct ways that shame is encoded and
embodied in a nation that prides itself on individualism,
diversity, and exceptionalism. Examining shame through a prism of
race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender, these provocative essays
offer a broader understanding of how America's discourse of shame
helps to define its people as citizens, spectators, consumers, and
moral actors.
