The Proletarian Dream
The proletariat never existed—but it had a profound effect on modern German culture and society. As the most radicalized part of the industrial working class, the proletariat embodied the critique of capitalism and the promise of socialism. But as a collective imaginary, the proletariat also inspired the fantasies, desires, and attachments necessary for transforming the working class into a historical subject and an emotional community. This book reconstructs this complicated and contradictory process through the countless treatises, essays, memoirs, novels, poems, songs, plays, paintings, photographs, and films produced in the name of the proletariat. The Proletarian Dream reads these for...
Die Neue Frauenbewegung in Deutschland
Die Neuen Frauenbewegungen haben Selbstbestimmung, Gleichheit, Zuwendung und einen neuen Eros gefordert und sie haben die Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft in Deutschland grundlegend verändert. Dabei haben sie sich auch selbst transformiert. Der Band dokumentiert ihre wichtigsten Quellen und stellt sie in ihrer Vielfalt und ihren Veränderungen vor. Auch die Reaktionen der Männerbewegung wurden aufgenommen. Der Band eröffnet einen einzigartigen Zugang zu den Kontroversen um Geschlecht und gesellschaftlichen Wandel in Deutschland seit 1968. Diese Texte sind weiterhin aktuell angesichts der Debatten um die Zukunft der Arbeit, der Familie und des Friedens vor Ort und auf globaler Ebene.
The Sociology of Space
In this book, the author develops a relational concept of space that encompasses social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world. Löw’s guiding principle is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay between objects, structures and actions. Based on a critical discussion of classic theories of space, Löw develops a new dynamic theory of space that accounts for the relational context in which space is constituted. This innovative view on the interdependency of material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space also permits a new perspective on architecture and urban development.

The Narrative Subject
This open access book considers the stories of adolescents and young adults from different regions of the world who use digital media as instruments and stages for storytelling, or who make the media the subject of story telling. These narratives discuss interconnectedness, self-staging, and managing boundaries. From the perspective of media and cultural research, they can be read as responses to the challenges of contemporary society. Providing empirical evidence and thought-provoking explanations, this book will be useful to students and scholars who wish to uncover how ongoing processes of cultural transformation are reflected in the thoughts and feelings of the internet generation.
Dictatorship as Experience
A decade after the collapse of communism, this volume presents a historical reflection on the perplexing nature of the East German dictatorship. In contrast to most political rhetoric, it seeks to establish a middle ground between totalitarianism theory, stressing the repressive features of the SED-regime, and apologetics of the socialist experiment, emphasizing the normality of daily lives. The book transcends the polarization of public debate by stressing the tensions and contradictions within the East German system that combined both aspects by using dictatorial means to achieve its emancipatory aims. By analyzing a range of political, social, cultural, and chronological topics, the contributors sketch a differentiated picture of the GDR which emphasizes both its repressive and its welfare features. The sixteen original essays, especially written for this volume by historians from both east and west Germany, represent the cutting edge of current research and suggest new theoretical perspectives. They explore political, social, and cultural mechanisms of control as well as analyze their limits and discuss the mixture of dynamism and stagnation that was typical of the GDR.
Gendered Life Courses Between Standardization and Individualization
This volume presents an integrated approach to life-course analysis with innovations on the theoretical, empirical and methodological level. Life courses are considered as multidimensional individual trajectories that are influenced not only by available resources and by trajectories of closely related others (children, partners), but also by gender and by specific institutional configurations. This approach is applied to Switzerland, a society mixing modern and traditional elements.

Inside out
Bis Ende 2015 habe ich täglich Tagebuch geschrieben, um schließlich festzustellen, dass es da viele Redundanzen; viel Unwichtiges gibt. Kurzum: mir war es zu "buchhalterisch". Daher bin ich übergegangen zum Journalschreiben. In meinem Journal halte ich fest, was mir in den letzten zehn Jahren wichtig war: Leseeindrücke; Berichte von Ausstellungen und Konzerten; Begegnungen; Naturschilderungen; Reiseberichte; Reflexionen; Erlebnisse der besonderen Art.
