Moral Economies
Is there a moral economy of capitalism? The term "moral economy" was coined in pre-capitalist times and does not refer to economy as we know it today. It was only in the nineteenth century that economy came to mean the production and circulation of goods and services. At the same time, the term started to be used in an explicitly critical tone: references to moral economy were normally critical of modern forms of economy, which were purportedly lacking in morals. In our times, too, the morality of capitalism is often the topic of debate and controversy. "Moral Economies" engages in these debates. Using historical case studies from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries the book ...
The Emotional Economy of Holidaymaking
It is often taken for granted that holiday resorts sell intangible commodities such as freedom, enjoyment, pleasure, and relaxation. But how did the desire for a 'happy holiday' emerge, how was 'the right to rest' legitimized, and how are emotions produced by commercial enterprises? To answer these questions, The Emotional Economy of Holidaymaking explores the rise of popular holidaymaking in late-nineteenth-century Britain, which is generally considered to be the birthplace of mass tourism. Drawing on a wide range of texts, including medical literature, parliamentary debates, advertisements, travel guides, popular stories, and personal accounts, the book unravels the role emotions played in...

The Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, and the Great Recession
This book analyzes the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street as symptoms of the structural crisis of US capitalism and its class structure. It shows that the protests have to be understood as rooted in the petty bourgeoisie’s lived experience of crisis, which also plays a crucial role in current political developments like the successful presidential campaign of Donald Trump. The book explains the Great Recession as an acute phase of the structural crisis of the finance-dominated accumulation regime, identifies the social classes from which the core-participants of the respective protests recruited themselves and the socioeconomic developments to which they were exposed in the years leading up to the protests, and interprets interviews and group discussions conducted with activists to reconstruct the habitus that structured both their experience of the crisis and their resonance with the respective protest practices. It thereby provides an encompassing understanding of the social logics not only of these social movements, but of the current political conjuncture in the US.
Feeling Lucky
Monte Carlo and Las Vegas have become synonymous with casino gambling. Both destinations featured it as part of a broad variety of leisure and consumption opportunities that normalized games of chance and created emotional atmospheres that supported the hedonistic aspects of gambling. Urban spaces and architecture were carefully designed to enable a rapid growth of the casino industry and produce experiences on previous unimaginable scale. Feeling Lucky, is a “making of story,” about cities which acquired a strange and captivating allure of mystery around them. It is more than a mere descriptive account, however. Combining urban history, the history of consumption, and sociological appro...

Ethiken der Essenz
In den inneren Kolonien um 1900 wurden Rasse, Rassismus und Antisemitismus verinnerlicht. Rasse, Rassismus und Antisemitismus äußern sich nicht nur in Begriffen, Vorstellungen oder Taten. Im Kaiserreich und der Weimarer Republik lernten Menschen, rassistisch und antisemitisch zu fühlen und sich als überlegene Deutsche zu empfinden. Gerade als verinnerlichte Geschichte in Gefühl und Körper leben Rasse, Rassismus und Antisemitismus fort. In den inneren Kolonien in Ost- und Mitteldeutschland sollten Rasse und Deutschsein erlernt werden. Die Innenkolonisation verband widersprüchliche Akteure: Völkische und Lebensreformer, aber auch Anarchisten und Zionisten verhandelten, wie die Siedlungsökonomie "neue Menschen" hervorbringen sollte. Völkische Siedlungsbewegte lernten durch "arteigene" Praktiken eine rassische Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung: "Deutsche Arbeit", religiöse Riten, vegetarische Ernährung, Sport und (Runen)Gymnastik sollten sie arisch machen. Die Autorin zeigt, wie die Perspektive auf Körperlichkeit und Emotionen das Wechselverhältnis von Rasse, Rassismus und Antisemitismus sichtbar macht und dabei hilft, deren Kontinuitäten (an)greifbar zu machen.
