Download or read book Visions of Modernity American Business and the Modernization of Germany written by Mary Nolan Professor of History New York University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994-06-27 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In much the same way that Japan has become the focus of contemporary American discussion about industrial restructuring, Germans in the economic reform in terms of Americanism and Fordism, seeing in the United States an intriguing vision for a revitalized economy and a new social order. During the 1920s, Germans were fascinated by American economic success and its quintessential symbols, Henry Ford and his automobile factories. Mary Nolan's book explores the contradictory ways in which trade unionists and industrialists, engineers and politicians, educators and social workers explained American economic success, envisioned a more efficient or "rationalized" economic system for Germany, and anguished over the social and cultural costs of adopting the American version of modernity. These debates about Americanism and Fordism deeply shaped German perceptions of what was economically and socially possible and desirable in terms of technology and work, family and gender relations, consumption and culture. Nolan examines efforts to transform production and consumption, factories and homes, and argues that economic Americanism was implemented ambivalently and incompletely, producing, in the end, neither prosperity nor political stability. Vision of Modernity will appeal not only to scholars of German History and those interested in European social and working-class history, but also to industrial sociologists and business scholars.

Download or read book Marketing Modernity written by Adam Arvidsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Marketing Modernity, Adam Arvidsson traces the development of Italy's postmodern consumer culture from the 1920s to the present day. In so doing, Arvidsson argues that the culture of consumption we see in Italy today has its direct roots in the social vision articulated by the advertising industry in the years following the First World War. He then goes on to discuss how that vision was further elaborated by advertising's interaction with subsequent big discourses in Twentieth Century Italy: fascism, post-war mass political parties and the counter-culture of the 1960s and 1970s. Based on a wide range of primary sources, this fascinating book takes an innovative historical approach to the study of consumption.

Download or read book Women and Modernity in Weimar Germany written by Vibeke Rützou Petersen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the popular fiction of Weimar Germany and explores the relationship between women, the texts they read, and the society in which they lived. A complex picture emerges that shows women talking center stage, not only in the fiction but also in the reality that shaped its fictional representations. One of the author's significant conclusions is that it was the growing strength of female subjectivity, its strong positioning, and its insistent claim to visibility that occupied the imaginations and fears of Weimar culture and contributed in an important way to the crisis that afflicted the Weimar Republic.

Download or read book From Tradition to Modernity written by S.K. Khutiala and published by Abhinav Publications. This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is undergoing accelerated change with industrialisation as a goal widely shared by India’s planners. Domestic industry is being partially replaced by a more efficient factory system and clearly India has committed herself to modernisation. To understand the phenomenon of modernisation and its social consequences, we need dialectic of social knowledge concerning the phenomenon and its impact on people. The research of this book is intended to be a contribution to such knowledge. Specifically, this is a study of industrial workers in two privately owned factories in North India. These two factories are located in small towns and draw a large share of their labour force from surrounding rural areas and villages. To measure the impact of industrial employment, the sample of industrial workers is compared to a controlled sample of agricultural workers. Our basic goal in attempting to understand the process of modernisation was to explore (a) the underlying reasons why men shift from farm to factory work, and (b) the subsequent changes, which come about in their attitudes and values.
