BULLYING: THE SOCIAL DESTRUCTION OF SELF

Book ID/图书代码： 12689014B72263

English Summary/英文概要： In her forceful social history, Bullying, Laura Martocci investigates how tragedies ranging from school shootings to teen suicides have focused national attention on a "bully culture" that thrives on humiliation. But how-and why-have we arrived at where we are, culturally and socially?

Bullying offers a cogent analysis of the social forces sustaining various levels of ridicule, exclusion, and rejection. Martocci probes the destructive behavior of gossip, laughter, stereotyping, and competition: dynamics that foment bullying and prompt responses of shame, violence, and depression. She argues that these dynamics themselves contain the seeds of resistance to ongoing social abuse and psychological devastation.

This book is a necessary wake-up call urging us to acknowledge the nature of the damage-the pain and confusion caused by shame, an emotion that we, as a culture, deny. Identifying shame as a break in social connection, from which victims require the possibility of "redemption" and reconnection, Martocci offers a novel perspective on bullying, one that builds upon social and personal supports for victims that are already in place.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在她强有力的社会史书《欺凌》中，劳拉•马尔托奇探讨了一些让全国都关注到建立在羞辱上的“欺凌文化“的悲剧，从校园枪击事件到青少年的自杀。但是我们如何以及为什么到了现在的地步，是文化还是社会？

《欺凌》提供了对维持各种不同层次的嘲笑，驱逐和排斥的社会力量的强有力的分析。马尔托奇探索了流言，嘲笑，墨守成规和竞争的破坏性行为，煽动欺凌和羞辱的驱动力，以及对羞辱，暴力和萎靡的迅速反应。她认为，这些驱动力本身包含不间断的社会虐待和心理破坏的反抗的种子。

这本书是一个必要的警钟，促使我们承认毁灭的本性——我们与生俱来的不能否认的羞耻造成的痛苦和困惑。将羞辱视为社会连接的中断，马尔托奇从受害者需要“救赎”和重新连接的可能性，提供了一个欺凌的新角度，一个建立在社会和个人对受害者支持上的角度。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：该方法（如现象本身）是复杂和多方面的，马尔托奇借鉴了社会科学与社会理论，社会心理学和精神分析。我确信它会吸引从事文化研究工作的学者，教育工作者，以及工作与该社会问题有关的医生和临床医生。——多伊尔•麦卡锡

The approach (like the phenomenon itself) is complex and multifaceted and Martocci draws from social science and social theory, social psychology, and psychoanalysis. I am certain that it will have a wide appeal to both academics working in cultural studies, to educators, and to practitioners and clinicians working on this social problem.--E. Doyle McCarthy
