Riassunto

From taboo to embarrassment, from prudishness to awkwardness, from blushing to guilty pleasures. This book, and the corresponding exhibition at The Museum Dr. Guislain in Ghent, focuses on the feeling that is omnipresent but difficult to comprehend. 'Shame,' you may feel it when you've accidently said something inappropriate in public, or you may feel it as a result of your small or larger physical imperfections, as a result of poverty, or even psychological problems. Shame surprises us when we least expect it, but there are many different reasons to feel ashamed. Character, but also time, place and culture play a role. With objects from other cultures, historical psychiatry documents, testimonies, essays and illustrations, the exhibition and the book approach the feeling from many different angles. Contemporary artists categorise the feeling in paintings, sculptures, photography and video. The Museum Dr. Guislain in Ghent aims to focus attention on important psychiatric problems and place them in their corresponding social and cultural context. In order to do so, it always starts a dialogue between psychiatry and art. With texts by Bernard Dewulf, Paul Faber and Evert Peters, amongst others.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Verkenning en herkenning van het fenomeen 'schaamte' Van taboe tot verlegenheid, van preutsheid tot gêne, van blozen tot guilty pleasures. De tentoonstelling en de bijbehorende publicatie Schaamte richten zich op dat moeilijk te vatten, maar alom aanwezige gevoel. Schaamte: het kan gaan over iets ongewild fout zeggen in het openbaar, over kleine of grote onvolmaaktheden van het eigen lichaam, over armoede, over psychische ziekte. Schaamte overvalt ons op de meest onverwachte momenten, maar er zijn grote verschillen in de redenen waarom mensen zich schamen. Karakter maar ook tijd, plaats en cultuur spelen mee een rol. Met objecten uit andere culturen, documenten uit de geschiedenis van de psychiatrie, getuigenissen, essays en illustraties verkennen de tentoonstelling en het boek Schaamte het terrein langs meerdere wegen. Hedendaagse kunstenaars thematiseren het gevoel in schilderijen, beeldhouwwerk, fotografie en video.
