Hygienic practices of bodily regulation were integral to the extension of modern capitalist social relations, and profoundly shaped Weimar culture. Heynen’s innovative interdisciplinary approach draws on Marxist and other critical traditions to examine the politics of degeneration and socialist, communist, and anarchist responses. Drawing on key Weimar theorists and addressing artistic and cultural movements ranging from Dada to worker-produced media, this book challenges us to rethink conventional understandings of left culture and politics, and of Weimar culture more generally.Historical materialism book series ;Volume 93.Politics and cultureGermanyHistory20th centuryHuman bodySymbolic aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryGermanyHistory1918-1933GermanySocial conditions1918-1933GermanyPolitics and government1918-1933Politics and cultureHistoryHuman bodySymbolic aspectsHistory943.085Heynen Robert1558820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788022803321Degeneration and revolution3823532UNINA
