| Reference: shame Reference information: In standard English, the word ‘shame’ typically refers to fear of judgement, low self-esteem, a sense of inadequacy or having done something objectionable or degrading. By contrast, in many Australian Indigenous languages, the words that best approximate the meaning of the English ‘shame’ refer to somewhat different feelings.Apart from the fear of being judged by others, they tend to also evoke shyness, i.e. fear of others independent of one’s own action; the desire to avoid being seen or otherwise exposed to others’ scrutiny; as well as respect for others with socially prominent status. This constellation of attitudes and feelings is culturally salient, and can influence how people behave and operate socially to a significant extent. https://www.emotionlanguageaustralia.com/shame Shame is so embedded into our lives that the word shame has enormous cultural and intellectual power in the Aboriginal vernacular. To be shame, to cause shame, to act shame, to feel shame, to be a shame job! To shame someone up, to be too shame to do something. It’s funny, it’s Black, and has no equivalent in white Australian English-which is inadequate for understanding this concept. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/42147/12/BALLA_Paola-Thesis_nosignatu... |
