Mea culpa : a sociology of apology and reconciliation / Nicholas Tavuchis

• The social import of Apology -- Meanings, nature, and functions of Apology -- Modes of Apology -- Conclusions. 

• What is apology? What are its functions and its essential and variable elements? How do apologies differ from excuses, disclaimers, and justifications? What form does apology take in our own culture and in other cultures such as Japan? These are some of the major questions addressed in this attempt to shed light on a familiar but neglected dimension of social life. --From publisher's description.
