本文提出,羞耻是日常生活中的主要情感,但由于禁忌而在现代社会中通常是看不见的。对羞耻研究的回顾表明,禁忌会导致否认和沉默。库利、弗洛伊德、埃利亚斯、林德、戈夫曼、刘易斯和汤姆金斯的研究在很大程度上被忽视了。他们的研究表明羞耻感与社会生活之间存在着重要的联系:羞耻感可以被视为对这种纽带构成威胁的信号。如果是这样,理解羞耻对于社会系统的研究来说是必要的。英语中关于羞耻的禁忌仍然存在:当前的用法在很大程度上赋予了强烈而狭隘的单一含义。一方面,这个含义冒犯了人,另一方面又忽略了羞耻感的日常功能。也许这个问题可以像在传统社会中一样,通过使用更广泛的术语来解决,例如“债券情感”或“羞耻”。这样的概念可能会导致情感/关系世界的发现。
This article proposes that shame is the master emotion of everyday life but is usually invisible in modern societies because of taboo. A review of shame studies suggests a taboo that results in denial and silence. The studies by Cooley, Freud, Elias, Lynd, Goffman, Lewis, and Tomkins have been largely ignored. Their work suggests a vital connection between shame and social life: shame can be seen as a signal of a threat to the bond. If so, understanding shame would be necessary for the study of social systems. The taboo on shame in English still holds: current usage, for the most part, assigns an intense and narrow singular meaning. This meaning offends, on the one hand, and misses the everyday function of shame, on the other. Perhaps the problem can be approached, as it is in traditional societies, by the use of a broader term, such as "bond affect" or "Shame." Such a concept could lead to discovery of the emotional/relational world.
