Summary/Abstract: Modernity owes its expansion not only to technology, but also to the spread of certain emotional attitudes that converge with the requirements of modernization. Global forms of expressing feelings put local emotions in a ‘backward’ position, and shaming becomes part of the process of modernizing society. Regardless of whether shaming leads to concessions or strong resistance, the meeting of local culture with modern shame augurs change in collective consciousness and collective forms of expressing emotions.
