TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Beyond honor: a new approach to the many sides of shame JO - Journal of modern Italian studies A1 - Plesset, Sonia SP - 430 EP - 439 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Women and men who live with intimate partner violence often face multiple layers of shame. This article suggests that anthropologists separate shame from the honor/shame dyad and re-examine shame as a symbolic category that can illustrate the complex interactions among individual subjectivity, local moral systems, and global norms of modernity and progress. Through the stories of two Italian women who lived with violent partners, we see how shame is shaped by the ideological and cultural conflicts individuals negotiate in their daily lives.
