Unique cross-cultural and multimedial approach to class identity and precarity in literature, theatre, and filmContemporary culture not merely reflects ongoing societal transformations, it shapes our understanding of rapidly evolving class realities. Literature, theatre, and film urge us to put the question of class back on the agenda, and reconceptualize it through the lens of precarity and intersectionality. Relying on examples from British, French, Spanish, German, American, Swedish and Taiwanese culture, the contributors to this book document a variety of aesthetic strategies in an interdisciplinary dialogue with sociology and political theory. Doing so, this volume demonstrates the myriad ways in which culture opens up new pathways to imagine and re-imagine class as an economic relation, an identity category, and a subjective experience. Situated firmly within current debates about the impact of social mobility, precarious work, intersectional structures of exploitation, and interspecies vulnerability, this volume offers a wide-ranging panorama of contemporary class imaginaries.Contributors: Magnus Nilsson (Malmö University), Christian Claesson (Lund University), Christoph Schaub (University of Vechta), Olaf Berwald (Middle Tennessee State University), Valeria Pulignano (KU Leuven), Lander Vermeerbergen (Radboud University), Markieta Domecka (KU Leuven) Deborah Dean (Warwick University), Sula Textor (Potsdam University), Irene Husser (University of Tübingen), Katrin Becker (University of Siegen), Marissia Fragkou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) Sarah Pogoda (Bangor University), Daniel Brookes (University of Worcester), Tim Christiaens (Tilburg University), Joeri Verbesselt (KU Leuven), Syaman Rapongan (writer).Ebook available in Open Access.

Abstiegsängste, Furcht vor Zuwanderung und Klimawandel: Glaubt man populären Zeitdiagnosen, leben wir in einer Gesellschaft der Angst. Dieser Band trägt aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zur Gefühlslage der Menschen in Deutschland zusammen und unterzieht damit die Diagnose »Angstgesellschaft« einer kritischen Überprüfung: Kennen die Sorgen und Ängste der Deutschen wirklich nur eine Richtung - aufwärts? Was treibt bestimmte Bevölkerungsgruppen wie Jugendliche, prekär Beschäftigte oder Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund um? Welche Rolle spielen Sorgen und Ängste für die Wahlerfolge rechtspopulistischer Parteien? Die Beiträge zeigen, dass die Befindlichkeiten der Menschen zwar auf gesellschaftliche Bruchlinien verweisen, Deutschland aber dennoch keine Angstgesellschaft ist. »Ein sehr lesenswertes Buch, dass auch komplexe Datenlagen verständlich erklärt und letztlich viele Antworten auf die Frage gibt, ob empirische Befunde die Diagnose einer angstbestimmten Gesellschaft stützen können.« Renate Kränzl-Nagl, www.socialnet.de, 28.08.2020 Besprochen in: Rundbrief Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, 3 (2019)
