Following the authors’ acclaimed and successful  nineteenth century book, \u003ci\u003eCultures of Shame\u003c\/i\u003e, this new monograph moves forward  to look at shame in the modern era. As such, it investigates how social and  cultural expectations in both war and peace, changing attitudes to sexual  identities and sexual behaviour, new innovations in media and changing  representations of reputation, all became sites for shame’s reconstruction,  making it thoroughly modern and in tune with twentieth century Britain’s  expectations. Using a suite of detailed micro-histories, the book examines a  wide expanse of twentieth century sites of shame  including   conceptions of cowardice\/conscientious objection during the First World  War, fraud and clerical scandal in the interwar years, the shame associated  with both abortion and sexual behaviour redefined in different ways as  ‘deviant’, shoplifting in the 1980s and lastly, how homosexuality shifted from  ‘Coming Out’ to embracing ‘Pride’, finally rediscovering the positivity of  shame with the birth of the ‘Queer’.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780230359338\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-31919-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 323\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752424763532,"sku":"9780230359338","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780230359338.jpg?v=1776577303","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780230359338","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
