Abstract

Abstract

Recently social scientists have carried out substantial research concerning the world's cultures of face in relation to cultures of honor.It offers a range of data for the psychic or physical violence which in our time is built into each of these cultures,on a fairly global scale.Yet such research takes no notice of imaginative literature.Hence this essay asks:are we to assume that literature has nothing to contribute to an understanding of such forms of violence?Could we expect fictional works to offer insights of their own?Using social science as well as historical literary sources,the essay firstly aims to clarify what is meant by face and honor as cultural characteristics,focusing especially on personality and selfhood categories and on norms guiding social conduct.Then,secondly,the essay discusses instances of fictional works of our time and the recent past which,in a comparable manner,do indeed thematize key principles of face and honor cultures.It becomes apparent from research and fiction,in complementary ways,that these principles feature a notable gender imbalance.In many parts of the world,in so-called honor cultures,honor is often a prominent value in the context of women's assigned sexual and familial roles as they are dictated by a traditional family ideology.Thus,in such cultural contexts we can observe a direct link between male reputation and the female body,leading in effect to a gap between a woman's and a man's honor by setting double standards.Face cultures share a number of features with honor cultures:with a collectivistic orientation,they have traditionally encouraged a maintenance of strong family ties and social harmony,effectively resulting in similar double standards.Accordingly,the focus in this study is especially on notions of obedience and of infertility,to understand how these affect women.Fiction has recently been called an important source of inspiration for psychology as well as for sociology,and the analysis shows that imaginative works can indeed contribute valuable and original insights into harmful cultural practices.We should note that our own cultural positionality,wherever we are located,is at stake in this comparative process,which pushes us toward rethinking the assumptions that we ourselves,as researchers and as readers,bring to bear on our observations.
