Focusing on three key groups-railway personnel, soldiers, and telephone operators-Andreas Killen traces the emergence in the 1880's and then later decline of the belief that modernity caused nervous illness. During this period, Killen explains, Berlin became arguably the most advanced metropolis in Europe. A host of changes, many associated with breakthroughs in technologies of transportation, communication, and leisure, combined to radically alter the shape and tempo of everyday life in Berlin. The resulting consciousness of accelerated social change and the shocks and afflictions that accompanied it found their consummate expression in the discourse about nervousness. Wonderfully researched and clearly written, this book offers a wealth of new insights into the nature of the modern metropolis, the psychological aftermath of World War I, and the operations of the German welfare state. Killen also explores cultural attitudes toward electricity, the evolution of psychiatric thought and practice, and the status of women workers in Germany's rapidly industrializing economy. Ultimately, he argues that the backlash against the welfare state that occurred during the late Weimar Republic brought about the final decoupling of modernity and nervous illness. 410 0$aWeimar and now ;$v38. 606 $aNeurasthenia$xSocial aspects$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 606 $aMental fatigue$xSocial aspects$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 606 $aElectrotherapeutics$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 606 $aElectrification$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 606 $aIndustrialization$zGermany$zBerlin$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSocial change$zGermany$zBerlin$xPsychological aspects 606 $aRailroads$xEmployees$xMental health$zGermany$zBerlin 606 $aTelephone operators$xMental health$zGermany$zBerlin 606 $aSoldiers$xMental health$zGermany$zBerlin 606 $aPsychiatry$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 610 $aberlin. 610 $abrain. 610 $aelectricity. 610 $aeurope. 610 $afactory workers. 610 $agerman history. 610 $agerman. 610 $agermany. 610 $agreat war. 610 $ahistory of medicine. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindustrial revolution. 610 $ainsanity. 610 $alabor. 610 $alunacy. 610 $amadness. 610 $amanichean teleology. 610 $amedical community. 610 $ametropolis. 610 $amodernity. 610 $anervous disorders. 610 $anervous illness. 610 $anervousness. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apsyche. 610 $apsychiatry. 610 $apsychology. 610 $aptsd. 610 $arailways. 610 $ascience. 610 $ashell shock. 610 $asocial change. 610 $atechnology. 610 $atelephone operators. 610 $atrauma. 610 $aveterans. 610 $aweimar republic. 610 $awelfare state. 610 $awomen workers. 610 $aworld war one. 610 $aww1. 615 0$aNeurasthenia$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMental fatigue$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aElectrotherapeutics$xHistory. 615 0$aElectrification$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrialization$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSocial change$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aRailroads$xEmployees$xMental health 615 0$aTelephone operators$xMental health 615 0$aSoldiers$xMental health 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory. 676 $a362.196/8528/00943155 700 $aKillen$b Andreas$01467797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783312003321 996 $aBerlin electropolis$93678627 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03648nam 22006612 450 001 9910791370703321 005 20151005020622.0 010 $a0-511-84791-2 010 $a1-107-19553-5 010 $a0-521-60085-5 010 $a1-282-65158-7 010 $a9786612651588 010 $a0-511-76890-7 010 $a0-511-76667-X 010 $a0-511-76974-1 010 $a0-511-76528-2 010 $a0-511-76806-0 035 $a(CKB)2560000000011938 035 $a(EBL)542842 035 $a(OCoLC)645097915 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000410839 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11268516 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000410839 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10353798 035 $a(PQKB)11576950 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9780511770555 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC542842 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL542842 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10399276 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL265158 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000011938 100 $a20100510d2009|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAbolition $ea history of slavery and antislavery /$fSeymour Drescher$b[electronic resource] 210 1$aCambridge :$cCambridge University Press,$d2009. 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 471 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). 311 $a0-511-77055-3 311 $a0-521-84102-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aExtension -- A perennial institution -- Expanding slavery -- Extension and tension -- Crisis -- Border skirmishes -- Age of the American Revolution, 1770s-1820s -- Franco-American Revolutions, 1780s-1820s -- Latin American Revolutions, 1810s-1820s -- Abolitionism without revolution: Great Britain, 1770s-1820s -- Contraction -- British emancipation -- From colonial emancipation to global abolition -- The end of slavery in Anglo-America -- Abolishing New World slavery: Latin America -- Emancipation in the Old World, 1880s-1920s -- Reversion -- Reversion in Europe -- Cycles actual and counterfactual. 330 $aIn one form or another, slavery has existed throughout the world for millennia. It helped to change the world, and the world transformed the institution. In the 1450s, when Europeans from the small corner of the globe least enmeshed in the institution first interacted with peoples of other continents, they created, in the Americas, the most dynamic, productive, and exploitative system of coerced labor in human history. Three centuries later these same intercontinental actions produced a movement that successfully challenged the institution at the peak of its dynamism. Within another century a new surge of European expansion constructed Old World empires under the banner of antislavery. However, twentieth-century Europe itself was inundated by a new system of slavery, larger and more deadly than its earlier system of New World slavery. This book examines these dramatic expansions and contractions of the institution of slavery and the impact of violence, economics, and civil society in the ebb and flow of slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries. 606 $aSlavery$xHistory 606 $aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory. 676 $a306.3/6209 700 $aDrescher$b Seymour$0153733 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791370703321 996 $aAbolition$9776209 997 $aUNINA
