MEDITERRANEAN VALUES: The Honour and the Shame of Hospitality
Angelika Ergaver
; Institute of Nova Revija, Ljubljana, Slovenija
Abstract
The social historians and anthropologists presented the concept of honour and
shame as the values of Mediterranean society. However, the concepts of honour
and shame can be detected in various spheres of social interaction as well as
in different cultures around the world. Traditional customs of hospitality are a
sphere where one can experience honour or suffer shame and dishonour. The
customs of hospitality include traditional legal institutions, the asylum and the
safe escort. Although the institutions of asylum and escort are now in the domain
of the international law, they are also a part of the common legal tradition.
