Anotace knihy

In Is Shame Necessary? rising star Jennifer Jacquet shows that we have to use shame if we want to bring about political change and hold the powerful to account. In cultures that champion the individual, guilt - an internal voice nagging its owner - is advertised as the cornerstone of conscience. Yet while guilt holds individuals to their own standards, it proves impotent in the face of corrupt corporate policies. The answer to the limitations of guilt can be found in shame. While shame is a tool that many of us find discomforting, Jennifer Jacquet persuasively argues that it can be retrofitted for the age of digital technology in such a way to offset the shortcomings of guilt. Modern day shaming is a non-violent form of resistance that, unlike guilt, can be used to challenge institutions, organizations, and even governments in order to bring about large-scale change. Shaming, Jacquet proves, works best when used sparingly, but when applied in just the right way, in just the right quantity, and at just the right time, it can perhaps keep us from failing the other species in life's fabric and, in the end, ourselves. Jennifer Jacquet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at New York University. She works at the intersection of conservation and cooperation. She formerly wrote the 'guilty planet' blog at Scientific American, contributes to Edge.org, and conceived of the modernized shame totem pole for a presentation in 2011 at the Serpentine Gallery.
