Status und Scham
Hinter der schönen Fassade des souveränen Individuums lauert die soziale Angst vor gesellschaftlicher Degradierung und Unterlegenheit. Eine soziologische Untersuchung der Scham, jener alltäglichen Regung also, mit der Menschen auf die oziale Bloßstellung eigener Verfehlungen oder Schwächen reagieren, ist vor allem mit der Frage verbunden, wie in unserer Gesellschaft soziale Ungleichheit alltäglich reproduziert wird. Die leitende These ist, dass die Scham in der Verarbeitung sozialer Ungleichheit eine ebenso wichtige Rolle spielt wie umgekehrt Strategien der »Beschämung« in der alltäglichen Machtausübung herrschender Schichten. Der zeitdiagnostische Wert dieser Untersuchung liegt im Nachweis der Bedeutung von Scham- und Unterlegenheitsgefühlen in einer Gesellschaft, die von Individualisierung und neuartigen Formen sozialer Konkurrenz gekennzeichnet ist.
Shame and Ageing in a Transforming World

Release Date: 2024-05-23
The book provides a comprehensive overview of research and concepts related to shame and ageing, in the context of social change, upheavals and paradigm shifts, from transdisciplinary, cultural and transcultural perspectives. Drawing upon the editors' previous works on the topic of shame, this volume discusses the contexts of shame and ageing from theoretical, conceptual, and empirical perspectives. The toxic and stressful aspects of shame have been the focus of scientific analysis and discourse on shame and ageing. This volume explicitly makes the dimensions of shame a resource for individuals, and collective transformation processes the object of research in the context of ageing. It looks at emerging lifestyle, political, socio-economic and health contexts. It looks at how and why the frequency, intensity and handling of feelings of shame change over the course of life; the impact of shame on emotional well-being and mental health of older people; the impact of shame on social relationships and social engagement of older people in different cultures; the role of cultural values and norms in the development and processing of feelings of shame, especially in older people, and how these can be used for self-development; and the differences in the way older people in different cultures deal with feelings of shame and the way these can be used to develop effective strategies and techniques for older people to cope with shame. The editors and contributors thereby take cultural and gender aspects, as well as positive psychology and resource-orientated concepts, such as salutogenesis, resilience, happiness, fortitude, locus of control, faith- or strengths-based approaches into account and contextualize them against processes of social upheaval and transformation.
Shame and Gender in Transcultural Contexts

Release Date: 2024-09-06
This volume is envisioned as a primary reference in research, studies and concepts on shame through the lens of gender and from transdisciplinary, cultural and transcultural perspectives. It sheds light on the state of the art regarding shame and its meaning in the context of gender from theoretical, conceptual, and empirical perspectives from the standpoint of positive psychology. Since the experience of shame, the expression of shame as well as the individual or collective handling of shame depends in a special way on cultural factors, special importance has been given in the chapters to the consideration of cultural framework conditions. This volume is founded on the editors' first three publications on shame from positive psychology perspectives and an upcoming work on shame and ageing.
