Humiliation is a hot topic. Many people claim to feel humiliated, either by other individuals or by larger social and political structures that allegedly deny them respect and recognition. Experts in international relations even speak of a humiliation syndrome, while sociologists find that public resentment is rooted in feelings of humiliation. The talk investigates if and why people’s sensitivity to humiliating practices has increased over the last two or three centuries. However, it also examines the social function of humiliation and public shaming, in both social life and international affairs.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
