Their sumptuous displays, abundant products, architectural innovations, and prodigious scale inspired widespread fascination and even awe; at the same time, however, many Germans also greeted the rise of the department store with considerable unease. In The Consuming Temple, Paul Lerner explores the complex German reaction to department stores and the widespread belief that they posed hidden dangers both to the individuals, especially women, who frequented them and to the nation as a whole.Drawing on fiction, political propaganda, commercial archives, visual culture, and economic writings, Lerner provides multiple perspectives on the department store, placing it in architectural, gender-historical, commercial, and psychiatric contexts. Noting that Jewish entrepreneurs founded most German department stores, he argues that Jews and ?Jewishness? stood at the center of the consumer culture debate from the 1880s, when the stores first appeared, through the latter 1930s, when they were ?Aryanized? by the Nazis. German responses to consumer culture and the Jewish question were deeply interwoven, and the ?Jewish department store,? framed as an alternative and threatening secular temple, a shrine to commerce and greed, was held responsible for fundamental changes that transformed urban experience and challenged national traditions in Germany's turbulent twentieth century. 606 $aConsumption (Economics) -Germany$xHistory$3VANC032769$2EC 606 $aConsumer behavior$xGermany$xHistory$3VANC032770$2EC 606 $aDepartment stores$xGermany$xHistory$3VANC032771$2EC 606 $aJews$xGermany$xSocial conditions$x20th century$3VANC032772$2EC 606 $aJews--Germany$xSocial conditions$x19th century$3VANC032773$2EC 620 $aGB$dLondon$3VANL000015 620 $dIthaca$3VANL000377 700 1$aLerner$bPaul M.$3VANV057439$0259227 712 $aCornell university $3VANV108989$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20230616$gRICA 856 4 $uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=972803$zE-book ?
