Abstract

Shame is a universal emotion and a social regulator that is closely interwoven with gender subjectification and normative gender binaries. It is culturally constructed and associated with other forms of intersectionality. Shame can create and reinforce social inequalities, but shame can also be used to overcome these inequalities and become powerful as a resource for personal, organisational and societal development. This chapter introduces the publication, which offers a broad and at the same time deep insight into the topic of gender-specific facets of shame as a resource within and between the new cultures that are emerging from the current processes of transformation in our societies. The research contributions provide new insights for researchers, lecturers and practitioners in fields such as psychology, sociology, political and educational sciences and gender studies.
