Description: Proletarian Dream : Socialism, Culture, and Emotion in Germany, 1, Paperback by Hake, Sabine, ISBN 311064696X, ISBN-13 9783110646962, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The author uses the idea of the proletarian dream in German culture from 1863 to 1933 to illustrate the role of emotions in social movements and the formative role of culture. She discusses the role of emotions through the historical example of German working-class culture and the culture of socialism and communism in the social imaginary that has survived in texts produced in the name of the revolutionary working class. She addresses cultural practices, their definitions, institutions, and forms, in terms of emotions, in early sociological studies that explain presumed threats from the modern masses, the Marxist writings that established the world historical mission of the working class, and the performance of proletarian identifications from the first workers' choral societies, to the Weimar-era speaking choruses, to communist approaches to agitprop. She also addresses emotional socialism and its resonances in the socialist celebrity phenomenon, the brief popularity of workers' life writings, the socialist appropriation of classical allegory and mythology, bourgeois discourses of culture and education, proletarian novels, proletarian children's literature, the sexual liberation promised by the Sex-Pol movement, the communist turn to social realism and the literary debates about tendency and partiality, and experiments with modernist techniques in the context of photography and film.
