Bringing the story right up to the present, we see how the internet and social media pillorying have made public shaming a ubiquitous phenomenon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing a multitude of both historical and contemporary examples, Ute Frevert shows how humiliation has been used as a tool over the last 250 years (and how it still is today), a story that reveals remarkable similarities across different times and places. And we see how the art of humiliation is in no way a thing of the past but has been re-invented for the 21st century, in a world where such humiliation is inflicted not from above by the political powers that be but by our social peers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUte Frevert\u003c\/strong\u003e is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin.
