Der Fordismus aus körpergeschichtlicher Perspektive

Abstract

English abstract: The introduction gives a brief overview of the subject of this issue as well as of the individual articles. Particularly, it points to three aspects: First, there is a need for a reevaluation of the concept of Fordism in order to come up to the »consumerist productivism« that was established in the twentieth century. This contributes, second, to a differentiation of the history of productive and consuming bodies within this period. In this regard, some of the articles stress that both, hegemonic discourses and forms of (re-)appropriation and autonomous productions, must be taken into consideration.
