  • Punishing Transgression in Honor Culture and Face Culture

    de Mine Krause, Yan Sun, Michael Steppat ...
    Series Libro 37 - Cross Cultural Communication
    In the world’s so-called honor and face cultures, certain values and codes related to the protection of a family’s stainless reputation are deep-rooted. When they are violated by what is perceived as an immoral action, and the respective transgression becomes known, the honor not only of the deviant, but also of the in-group itself is damaged. This leads to stigmatization followed by collective ... Leer más

  • Honor, Face, and Violence

    Cross-Cultural Literary Representations of Honor Cultures and Face Cultures

    de Mine Krause, Yan SUN, Michael Steppat ...
    Series Libro 34 - Cross Cultural Communication
    Honor-related values are a source of gendered inequality and of violence.

    Legal Concepts and Reasoning in the English, Arabic, and Chinese Traditions

    de Sharron Gu ...
    Gu's original perspective on legal history challenges established theories of law based on political science, sociology, and philosophy.

They depend also on a simple form of summer pasture. Tazzunt means limit: and it refers to an annual ritual which gathers ... Leer más

  • Violence and Civilization

    Edición de Roderick Campbell ...
    Series Libro 4 - Oxbow/Joukowsky Institute Publication
    This collection of essays begins with the premise that violence, in its relationship to order, is a central element of history.
