One interesting fictional take: John Barnes, in his series of novels beginning with _A Million Open Doors_, John Barnes posits that colony worlds were set up to recreate various past cultures (or in a few cases, imagined or "ideal" cultures). The narrator is from a world based on medieval southern France, speaking Occitan and having a rich troubadour tradition. They implant hardware into their children and their dueling "weapons" which result in e.g. a sword cut feeling exactly like a real one would, but with minimal actual damage. So there's a lively dueling scene over the tiniest slights (or just because kids get bored), but not a pile of bodies after each nights' carousing. Initiating or accepting a challenge still requires sufficient courage to face the likelihood of extreme pain, so honor is satisfied despite the lack of bloodshed.
