Heroic deed
Abstract: A heroic deed is any kind of action by an actor that is the subject of a heroization process. It is true that there are forms of heroization that are not directed at a specific deed performed by a heroic figure but, for example, at their attitude. In many cases, however, an active or passive action forms the reference point of heroization processes, is represented in the form of a heroic narrative and is interpreted as evidence of the heroic qualities attributed to the person. In this article, the phenomenon of the heroic deed is explained using Max Weber's concept of action and Leo Braudy's model of 'acts of fame'
