Shame is one of the most stigmatized and stigmatizing of emotions.
Often characterized as an emotion in which the subject holds a
global, negative self-assessment, shame is typically understood to
mark the subject as being inadequate in some way, and a sizable
amount of work on shame focuses on its problematic or unhealthy
aspects, effects, or consequences. Interdisciplinary Perspectives
on Shame reorients readers to a more balanced understanding of what
shame is, as well as its value and social function. The
contributors recognize shame as a complex, richly layered,
conscious or unconscious phenomenon, and the collection offers an
understanding of how theories of shame can help or hinder us in
understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us. It also
highlights how a diverse range of perspectives on shame can
enlighten our understanding of both the positive and negative
aspects of this powerful emotion. Edited by Cecilea Mun, these
chapters by an international group of scholars reflect a broad
range of methods, disciplinary perspectives, and both theoretical
and practical concerns regarding shame.
