Queer Attachments
Why is shame so central to our identity and to our culture? What is its role in stigmatizing subcultures such as the Irish, the queer or the underclass? Can shame be understood as a productive force? This book explores the vicissitudes of shame across a range of texts, cultural milieux, historical locations, and geographical spaces.
