Michel Foucault (1926-1984) when analyzing Plato's Apology of Socrates dialogue states that Socrates does not use rhetoric to defend himself against the accusations received in the Athenian court. He makes no use of a speech aimed at the adulation of the jury by commotion and pity. According to Foucault (2009), the philosopher makes use of frank speech (parresía) and seeks to examine the accusations received in search of the truth and the promotion of justice. Socrates follows his daímon's advice not to prepare a defense speech and practices examining the charges in court. Socrates acts against what was practiced in that space until then, putting his life at risk and being later sentenced to death for poisoning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Popular religious festivals for patron saints, the Folias of the Divine Holy Spirit, the processions and the romarias are striking features of the cultures all over the Brazilian territory that convey symbolic and mythic meanings. They have two dimensions: one sacred and one mundane, each with their own characteristics. The aim of this paper is to analyze the mundane dimension of popular festivals in the state of Tocantins based on the body and the sexualities on the grounds of the cultural geography (CORRÊA, 2009; MERLEAU- PONTY, 1994) and the geography of religion (ROSENDAHL, 2003; ELIADE, 2004). To that end, a literature review was conducted on the issue along with field work consisting of informal conversations with participants and agents in the festivals as well as the direct observation of the events. The research problem is centered on to what extent the body and the sexuality lived through it prevent the experience of one's own sexuality free of shame and guilt in these religious festivals. At different times in the festival, it is through one's body that saints are honored in the performance of rituals and acts of devotion and faith, and it is also through the body that one lives sexuality and pleasure through music, food and drink. It is concluded that popular religious festivals in Tocantins are strongly influenced by African beliefs; they have reached streets and public spaces through dances in Afro-Catholic parades and have merged with festivities of white society, thus gaining visibility. Despite the sensuality, the use of the body to dance, the alcohol consumption, and the impulsive desires of the body, because they have adopted the moral and religious values of the hegemonic classes, these festivals have also gained in value and social recognition.

The current study sought out to examine the associations between sociodemographic and clinical variables, shame, emotion regulation-related processes (cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, self-compassion and self-judgement), and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in people with a psoriasis diagnosis. One hundred and forty-eight patients (112 females and 36 males) were recruited through the Associação Portuguesa da Psoríase (Portuguese psoriasis patients' association). Participants completed online measures of negative emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety and stress), chronic illness-related shame, chronic illness-related cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, self-compassion, and self-judgment. Three-stage hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted with depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms as the dependent variables. Experiential avoidance, self-judgment and years of education were associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Chronic illness-related shame was also associated with depressive symptoms in people with psoriasis. Emotion regulation processes and shame should be considered in clinical work with people facing a psoriasis diagnosis. Mindfulness-based programs, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy may be adequate for this population due to their specific target on emotion regulation processes.

The text discusses the work "Juca Paranhos, the Baron of Rio Branco" by Luís Cláudio Villafañe G. Santos, which analyzes the life and image of the Baron of Rio Branco as a privileged study to understand how Brazil sought to insert itself into the international system and legitimize its foreign policy. The author highlights the diplomatic victories of the Baron in the issues of Palmas and Amapá, which elevated him to the status of a national hero. The text also discusses Brazilian foreign policy at the beginning of the Republic, highlighting the territorialist vision of emerging nationalism and the search for political stability in South America. The author proposes a reflection on the formation of the Brazilian nation based on the collective feeling of shame regarding the injustices and problems faced by the country.

In order for one group to dominate another, the threat and/or use of physical coercion is not enough; to achieve this end, the group must achieve a monopoly on the internalization, at the subjective and emotional level, of a set of representations, beliefs and values. However, this is not without confrontation.We will address social confrontations in an area often considered as "private", that of emotions. What human beings are capable of experiencing affectively has to do with the particular type of social configuration, the web of social interdependencies and the power relations in which they are imbricated. Our universe of study is formed by workers in the fish industry of Mar del Plata, who see their material conditions of existence threatened by precariousness, attrition, instability and job insecurity. In particular, we will reflect on the diversity of emotions aroused by the "smell of fish", a mark that characterizes this group due to their productive activity, according to the age and sex of the interviewee. Finally, we are interested in knowing how emotions in the face of stigmatization are related to the value attributed to the task performed.

Objective: To understand the meaning of being-with leprosy reactions. Methods: Study based on Martin Heidegger's hermeneutical phenomenological method, conducted from 25 individual interviews with patients undergoing treatment for leprosy reactions, in a specialized health unit located in the state of Pará, Brazil. Results: Two thematic units were organized: "Signifying leprosy reactions" and "Living with leprosy reactions". For the participants, living with leprosy reactions means pain, shame, hopelessness, fear, uncertainty and concerns that profoundly transform daily life. The sense of being-with leprosy reactions is almost always revealed in the impersonality, ambiguity, curiosity and publicity of life, in which the being-there is seen from other beings and not from oneself. Conclusion: This study provides important knowledge for nursing care to people living with leprosy reactions, as understanding meanings and senses is important to boost the practice of sensitive, empathic and concerned with dialogue and with nursing care. the needs of the being-there in the world, where the cure is revealed in the care practices with-the-other and not for the-other.

Adolescence is considered a phase of discovery, marked by numerous changes, and literature presents it as a passage from childhood to adulthood. Adolescents with learning disorders experience this phase with fears and anxieties due to the limits imposed by the learning disorder. This study aimed to understand the experience of being an adolescent diagnosed with a learning disorder from the perspective of Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. This study used the critical phenomenological method to access the lived experience of adolescents from 11 to 17 years old who participate in psychopedagogy groups in an integrated care center located in Fortaleza. We listed five categories based on the adolescents’ statements: the adolescent’s relationship with the disorder and its limitations; the adolescent’s relationship with their social environment; the adolescent’s difficulty in dealing with their adolescence process; the teenager’s feelings about their difference; and the relationship of adolescents with the demands of everyday life. It was understood that the experience of being an adolescent with the learning disorder is permeated by suffering since there are different meanings attributed to it, such as shame and the feeling of worthlessness. Adolescents are considered to be in a context in which they are deprived of and exempt from responsibility for their own experience, which is always considered from a foreign discourse due to an exacerbated infantilization that is often attributed to this disorder by parents and caregivers.

Introduction: Child physical abuse is a recurrent practice that harms the physical and emotional development of children. Objective: To understand the perceptions and feelings of a group of children who have been physically abused by their parents or caretakers. Materials and Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using comic strips to respond to the inductive stimulus of what comes to mind when children are mistreated. Results: Feelings of love and hate, guilt, sadness, resentment, desire for vengeance and shame were experienced, as well as the perception of physical abuse as a harmful attitude. Conclusions: Children exhibited anxiety, shyness, aggressiveness, introspection and a tendency to social isolation since child physical abuse represents a tragic episode that would ultimately lead them to death, which is why it is suggested to use dialogue or other methods of punishment instead of physical abuse.

El propósito del estudio fue examinar la percepción de las consecuencias del fallo y del clima motivacional generado por el entrenador en jugadores con un alto nivel de balonmano. Para ello se utilizó un diseño no experimental, descriptivo y seccional donde los participantes respondieron al Cuestionario de Clima Motivacional Percibido en el Deporte y al Inventario de Evaluación del Error en el Rendimiento. La muestra estuvo formada por 479 jugadores de balonmano de 16-17 años (M=16.60; DT=.50), pertenecientes a la totalidad de las selecciones juveniles territoriales de balonmano. Los resultados reflejaron que la mayoría de los jugadores percibían sobre todo un clima de implicación en la tarea y que la principal causa aversiva del miedo al fallo fue la vergüenza. Al contrario del clima de implicación a la tarea, existe una fuerte asociación positiva entre el clima de implicación al ego y el miedo al fallo. Como conclusión, destacar que el rol del entrenador, como agente socializante, es determinante en las conductas de evitación y el miedo a fallar durante la práctica deportiva. Abstract The aim of the study was to examine the perception of the consequences of failure in the competitive context and the motivational climate generated by the coach in adolescent skilled players of handball. For this, a non-experimental, descriptive and sectional design was used where the participants answered the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire and the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory as measurement instruments. The sample consisted in 479 handball players aged 16-17 years (M=16.60; SD=.50), belonging to the different youth teams of handball. The results reflected that the majority of handball players perceived above all a task involving climate and that the main aversive causes of fear of failure was shame. It was stimated that the task involving climate is negatively related to the aversive causes of fear of failure, and the competitive climate, on the contrary, in a positive way.

This article aims to analyze shame and humiliation as consequences of stigmatization of poverty in residents of a capital city in the South and Northeast of Brazil. This qualitative study carried out ten Episodic Interviews with people in poverty situations in the two mentioned cities who experienced a feeling of shame because of their financial condition. These individuals participated in a previous quantitative study in their communities. Content analysis was performed. It is identified that the practices of humiliation are caused by unequal treatment. Shame may be linked to exposure and moral ethics as a constituent of human development. However, it may also bind to a derogatory judgment related to the stigmatization of poverty. It was observed that humiliation practices can trigger feelings of shame. As consequences, the individuals interviewed can isolate themselves, such as adapting to these situations of shame and humiliation. Likewise, it was noticed that the sense of shame itself can be a factor of indignation that provides the possibility to resist and be indignant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay, structured in three parts, traces a conceptual genealogy of the reaction of shame as a primary psychological phenomenon with a deep moral impact upon experiencing subjects, and further analyses two sublimated renderings of the basic emotion: in Kantian ethics and in J.M. Coetzee's novelistic project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study, part of a wider investigation into shame and modesty in family intimacy, aims to investigate the perception of shame in families with adolescent children. For that, a qualitative research was carried out in which 8 subjects from the middle socioeconomic segment were interviewed, with children between the ages of 12 and 18 years. The results were analyzed according to the content analysis method in its categorical aspect. To achieve the objectives formulated in this work, the following categories will be discussed: perception of shame coupled with guilt; identification of the shame by the look of the other; shame and social image. It was found that shame and guilt are perceived as undifferentiated feelings. The triggering of shame emerges from the gaze of the other and the failure of social and family expectations is crucial to trigger such feeling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hypermodernity, with its cultural foundations based on individualism and consumer relations, led human beings to a complete exhaustion in face of the expectations of happiness to be obtained through the achievement of better performances in various aspects of existence and in material acquisitions. Since the individual is constantly exposed to the consequences of the hyperconsumption modus vivendi, that is, the transitory character of success that causes the feeling of failure, emotional sequelae can be observed that may unfold into contemporary psychopathological phenomena, some of which are highlighted in the article. The aim of this paper is to point out how the strength of the success imperative can intensify feelings such as humiliation, shame, and envy, as well as suggest Gestalt-therapy as an opportunity for liberation from the oppressive ideology of self-overcoming, because, through the dialogical encounter, it is an instrument for sustaining the dignity of the subject in the face of the disconfirmations to which he/she is constantly exposed.

El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer la existencia de una relación transtextual de hipertextualidad entre Shame (2011), película dirigida por el director británico Steve McQueen, y American Psycho de Mary Harron (2000), adaptación cinematográfica de la novela homónima de Bret Easton Ellis (1991). El fundamento de esta hipótesis descansa tanto en la similitud de los respectivos argumentos y de los recursos cinematográficos (estructurales, transtextuales y retóricos) empleados en las dos películas, como en la intención artística de los cineastas. En un trabajo subsiguiente, se identificará y analizará una serie de citas intertextuales de diferente procedencia también presentes en el filme de McQueen. La superposición de diferentes discursos convierte a Shame en un rico palimpsesto transtextual que proyecta su propio significado a partir de la suma de las significaciones de sus textos subyacentes. Parafraseando la fórmula del semiólogo literario francés Gérard Genette, cuya metodología ha servido de base para el análisis, Shame de Steve McQueen resulta un buen testimonio de “cine en segundo grado”.

The present article aims to discuss the absence of shame in melancholy and the satisfaction of patients in communicating self-contempt, as described by Freud in 1917. To this purpose, it follows the arguments of the essay Mourning and Melancholy and indicates the necessary conceptual contributions for the presentation of melancholy as a narcissistic neurosis, distinct from the experience of mourning. Considering that shame is an affect that stands on the border between psychic and social, we seek to reflect on the clinical implications of its absence in melancholy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The PAP examination aims at early diagnosis of cervical cancer, a disease that presents high mortality and prevalence rates in the country. However, feelings such as shame, embarrassment and pain during the examination have been pointed out as factors that hinder adherence to the same, especially among women of popular layers. The purpose of this article is to examine the experiences of the realization of the said examination among women belonging to these layers. The article part of ethnographic research developed with nine women, resident of a peripheral neighborhood of the East zone of Sao Paulo, which carry out the Pap smear exam. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and observations of health agent visits to these women. As result can be highlighted the existence of a confrontation between what is prescribed in the preparation for the exam and what are women consider necessary and meaningful in terms of bodily practices. At the same time, it was evidenced that the existence of confidence in medical efficacy turns out to give new meaning to pain during the examination. The recognition, listening and welcoming by the health professional of the feelings that accompany the realization of the examination can favor a better adherence to it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The terms that form the title of this work are not mutually exclusive. The woman or the sexual difference are two ways to say the same. The woman in the works of Rousseau makes the difference. The woman not only is different, but she makes the difference, operates the sexual difference. In this work wo propose to show that when Rousseau undertakes to define the nature of the woman, what appears instead of the nature is an eroticism of the differentiation. We will see that sexual difference as it appears in the anthropology of Rousseau is not given by nature, but results from a game of signs imposed by shame and through which the sexual impulse becomes erotically differentiated desire.

This study aimed to investigate the emotional aspects present in the motivation for the interruption and/or continuity of crack consumption during the gestational period. We understand affectivity from the theoretical perspective of Jean Piaget, understood as the energy of action. Thus, we hypothesized that affections act as motivators for the interruption or continuity of drug use during the gestational and puerperal period, and we question which emotional aspects involved in this behavior. Therefore, we carried out a case study with a pregnant woman and three puerperal women, with ages ranging from 19 to 38 years, who interrupted and/or continued crack usage during pregnancy and puerperium. As a data collection instrument, we used a semi-structured interview. Data analysis and treatment were performed using the Bardin content analysis. The results indicate that affection aspects act directly in the decision to interrupt or continue the use of crack. In the interruption, they mentioned feelings of guilt, will, love and fear. On the other hand, regarding the continuity of drug use, feelings of sadness, pleasure, anger, will, loneliness and lack of shame arose. All participants attributed some negative representations to crack and its use, especially during pregnancy. In this way, it is relevant to investigate the affective aspects involved in the use of crack in order to improve the care strategies aimed at this public. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes to launch questions under the conditions of possibility of an analytical work in contexts of various deprivations, characterized as contexts of vulnerability, through two theoretical operators -- anguish and shame. Given the experiences of previous research with a focus on the psychic constitution and the clinical-institutional work with undernourished children, it was necessary to develop some theoretical notes that help us to operate in this work. The reality of the families assisted by the NGO Institute of Early Childhood -- IPREDE, in Fortaleza-CE, is permeated by the coexistence with violence and the difficulties in relation to the conditions of life that they have and what they can offer their children. We attach our analytical discussion to the contributions that can be made by other fields of knowledge, such as sociology and economics, seeking to increasingly respect the complexity of the social phenomena and the rearrangements that the subjects make to fit them. Through the Freudian reading of anguish, new propositions about a metapsychology of shame and the theory of trauma of Ferenczi, we seek to understand what can psychoanalysis in these so-called vulnerable contexts. This is an always complex question, but we realize that clinical is not synonymous only with the office, but also with spaces of expression of the subject of the unconscious, regardless of the physical place and social situation to which the subject is.

Objectives: To determine if men undergo the examination for prostate cancer detection, and uncover the difficulties to perform it. Methods: Exploratory and transversal study. It was attended by 52 employees of the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo. For the collection of information a story was elaborated with questions related to the subject. The following demographic data were also collected: age, education, function and religion. The methodology used to analyze the data was the Discourse of the Collective Subject. Results: 75% of the individuals had already performed some type of examination, which indicated an important change in the male scenario. However, it was possible to observe aspects peculiar to masculinity; Among respondents, only one made explicit the rectal examination. Conclusions: Taboo, prejudice, shame and fear are still dangerous reality data. Professionals and services should be prepared to receive and welcome this audience. Demystification is health promotion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay intends to argue for the affinity between the Gorgias and the Republic concerning issues of moral psychology. To this end I will divide my argument into two halves. The first half will show how the Calliclean moral psychology outlined at 491e-492a implies the possibility of conflict within the soul, especially regarding the relationship between epithumiai and shame. It will then argue that Socrates recognizes the appetitive element of the soul in his reply to Callicles but does not explore its consequences in any depth. The second half will contend that thumos – in the form of shame – is represented dramatically, and to some extent theoretically by Plato as one source of human motivation independent from reason, and recognized as such by the Calliclean position. My ultimate goal is to show how Plato raises questions in the Gorgias that hint at the theory of the tripartite soul expounded in book IV of the Republic, even though the answers here remain insufficient. The Gorgias therefore invites its readers to reflect critically on so-called Socratic intellectualism pointing to a more complex conception of human motivation that will be developed in the Republic.

Mental health literacy (MHL) and mental illness stigma (MIS) represent new horizons of study and intervention, particularly important, for both communities and clinical settings (European Commission Portuguese Ministry of Health, 2010). In this paper we aimed to: a) describe a clinical sample (CS) and non clinical group (NCG) in aspects related to family history of psychopathology, contact with mental illness and “learning about mental illness”; b) differentiate groups in terms of MHL, shame and self criticism; c) test associations between MHL with shame and self criticism; and, in the clinical sample, d) test the relationship between self stigma, shame and self criticism; e) explore the predictor role of other’s support in self stigma. To do so we collected data from a sample of 187 young adults, including CS and NCG, using: a Sociobiographic Questionnaire; Opinions about Mental Illness (Cohen Struening, 1962); Other as Shamer Scale (Goss, Gilbert Allan, 1994); Internalized Shame Scale (Cook, 1994); and Forms of Self Criticizing and Self Reassuring Scale (Gilbert, Clarke, Hempel, Miles, Irons, 2004). Our results show that: most of the subjects learned what is mental illness at school; CS know more people that has or had mental illness than NCG; there are no differences on MHL within samples; shame and self criticism are higher in the CS and correlate with self stigma; others support predict self-stigma. Several research and clinical implications are presented.

Introduction: How important is the emotional life of persons who manifest psychotic symptoms? Aims: The aim of this paper is to review evidence on a causal role for emotions in psychotic processes. Methods: Selective review of literature on affective symptoms in psychoses, on emotions in the production of psychotic symptoms and on dopaminergic models of psychosis. Results: Affective symptoms are relevant across psychoses. Persons with schizophrenia have high levels of emotional reactivity and the intensification of negative affects not only is associated with but also precedes the intensification of psychotic symptoms, which is evidence that negative emotions drive the course of psychotic symptoms. Negative self‑representations are central in psychotic processes and can be the link between negative emotions and psychosis. Evidence favours the notion that persecutory delusions are consistent with negative affects and self‑representations, while grandiose delusions are consistent with a defensive amplification of positive affects and self‑representations. Shame has been proposed as the core emotional experience of psychosis, one in which the self becomes vulnerable to the external world, which is consistent with persecutory experiences. Assaults on the self, under the form of hostility in the family environment and society, are strong predictors of relapse and development of schizophrenia. Assaults on the self which induce social defeat are also strong stimulants of mesolimbic dopaminergic pathways, whose hyperactivity is associated with acute psychotic episodes and the experience of “aberrant salience”, put forward as a dopaminergic model of psychosis. Conclusions: The “defeat of the self” emerges as a central link that binds the experience of negative emotions to the expression of psychotic symptoms and its psychological and neurobiological correlates. The hypothesis gains support that the emotions related to that defeat control the expression of a vulnerability to defeat and thus drive the course of psychosis.

The introduction of the syntagm "ordinary psychosis" by J-A miller has enabled to underline the current relevance of a new clinic called "continuist", no more accepting psychosis in the forms fixed by the psychiatric discourse. In times when the Other does not exist, the treatment of these subjects allows to unveil the types of bricolage, making it possible to enlace the categories RSI. This article seeks to initiate a reflection about the links between paternal function and relation to knowledge. In order to do this, starts from the distinction between neurosis and psychosis based on the subject's relation to knowledge and discusses the subject's encounter with an analyst, as well as the presence of an already constituted knowledge, a total knowledge, from which the psychotic derives his certainty. At the same time, distinguishes the process of thought and the relation to the body in psychosis. From two clinical cases, approaches the shame and the disbelief, and emphasizes the similarities and differences between neurosis and "ordinary psychosis" in the relation to knowledge. The article concludes with considerations about the analyst's position of addressee of signs without sense, which intends to assist an opening to the social lace for the psychosis' subject.

In this paper is discussed the representations of self and the feeling of shame before the school failures situations experienced for teenagers attending the ninth year of elementary school. We conducted this survey by a clinical interview with 49 teenagers, boys, and girls, in six public schools in the municipality of Rolim de Moura, Rondônia, to understand relevant aspects of the representations that make themselves before their failure in school. This research has as a theoretical landmark, the studies of Piaget on children's moral development, the contemporary surveys from the perspective of Moral Psychology. The results indicate that subjects feel guilty for the failure, but in some cases, they do not feel ashamed and, in others cases, despite the fact that they believe it, it does not imply a negative representation of self. Finally, we noted that the data from our surveys endorse the ideas that the search of positive representations of self is one of the fundamental motivations of human behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to show the guilt and affection of shame associated with the condition of being a person with HIV/AIDS. Despite being a relevant subject in psychoanalysis, the theme of shame is not configured as central in Freud's work, the guilt point has a well defined place regarding the relation of the individual with the culture. It can be said that, for Freud, the guilt appears as an aspect of the founding myth of our civilization. In Totem and Taboo, for example, it's the brothers guilt feeling, after the parricide, that allows the configuration of social pact. If the guilt was taken that way, the shame initially appears as a repressive force, such as morality, later to be associated, by Freud, to narcissism. That way, the shame would be related to the image of the individual in front of society. Than, two phenomena can be discussed: the fear of exposure and the fear of being ignored by other. Regarding AIDS, it's important to remember that the imaginary about the disease is constituted from a stigma, putting the individual in the place of the foreign. The clinical experience reveals a tendency to not to mention the disease, making AIDS something unknown. The shame exposes the individual and in that respect, connected to another taboo-theme (sex), AIDS demands, besides a ressignification, new rearrangements to deal with the body and society.

The objective is to understand -- by means of the vulnerability concept - how the feelings of fear and shame associated with violent situations have an impact on the possibilities of women overcoming gender-based domestic violence. Although these feelings are considered a problem and are expressed according to each woman's personal viewpoint, this article argues that the relationship between them and gender-based domestic violence is not an individual problem; rather it is a social and cultural violation of human rights. Based on sixteen interviews with women with a history of domestic violence, the vulnerability concept was used to analyse the relationship between the subjective perspectives of the interviewees and the programmatic and social components that make these women vulnerable. This is turn permitted the analyse of women's social representations in relation to violence and to the means of confronting it, as well as women's objective and subjective relationship with health services.
