“…De påpekar också att varje process har sin egen kronologi, varför kontinuitet och förändring hela tiden överlappar varandra. 36 Exempelvis noteras att övergången till en marknadsliberal ekonomi i Västtyskland -och i Sverige, skulle vi kunna tillägga -löpte parallellt med en fortsatt expansion av välfärdsstaten. 37 Likväl är deras perspektiv i grunden huvudsakligen materialistiskt, om än inte i samma utsträckning som exempelvis Hobsbawms, med fokus på makroekonomiska processer.…”

“…Similarly, it must pay attention to the 1970s as the decade both preceding and shaping many of the social, political, and cultural issues prevailing in Britain and elsewhere between 1979 and 1985 (Hilton, Moores, & Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, 2017b, p. 150;Black, Pemberton, & Thane, 2013). What makes the 1970s so crucial for the politics of uncertainty in the early 1980s is the fact that that decade gave rise to a range of uncertainties in the wake of the oil and energy crises, influencing many developments such as the major structural changes in the British economy during the 1980s (Robinson, Schofield, Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, & Thomlinson, 2017;Borstelmann, 2012;Ferguson et al, 2011;Doering-Manteuffel & Raphael, 2012;Geyer, 2010;Graf, 2014;Hilton et al, 2017a;Hilton et al, 2017b;Jarausch, 2008;Villaume, Mariager, & Porsdam, 2016). At the same time, these growing socio-political and economic uncertainties accentuated an ongoing tendency towards Britain's decline (Tomlinson, 2000(Tomlinson, , 2009.…”

This article seeks to map out possibilities for conducting a microhistorical study of the socio‐political and cultural roles that uncertainty, as a consequence of a lack of verifiable knowledge, played in political debates over the nuclear threat in Britain in the Second Cold War. Focusing on this politics of the unknown in the period from 1979 to 1985 when Britain witnessed resurging fears of nuclear war, this exploratory essay sets out to make three main interventions: First, it conceptualizes “uncertainty” as a subjective social and cultural construct with fluid meanings that does not necessarily have to hold exclusively negative connotations but might offer opportunities for historical actors. Second, this essay proposes an examination of the politics of the unknown about the anticipated effects of a nuclear war within a wider synchronic economy of non‐nuclear‐weapons‐related concerns such as de‐industrialization or unemployment. Finally, the article introduces the periodization of “Britain's long nuclear 1980s” to allow for a consideration of relevant diachronic aspects of this politics of the unknown, thereby adding further depth to the microhistory. Throughout, this exploratory study draws on historical examples to illustrate its key theoretical points.

“…Grundlage hierfür bildet dessen Annahme, dass der Interpretation die Schlüsselrolle zum Verständ-nis sozialer Phänomene zufällt. 49 "Eine gute Interpretation von was auch immer [...] versetzt uns mitten hinein in das, was interpretiert wird." 50 Im Ergebnis werden beobachtbare soziale Phänomene also erst durch die Interpretation verständlich.…”

In den Sozialwissenschaften wird das Verhalten von Menschen oft durch ihre Zugehörigkeit zu einer Generation erklärt. Seit den 68ern ist jedoch umstritten, ob sich überhaupt noch Generationen bilden und wodurch sie entstehen könnten. Worin liegen die Gründe hierfür? Welche gesellschaftlichen Umstände befördern welches Verhalten und warum erhalten nur manche Generationen sozialwissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit, sodass sie als ›Etablierte‹ gelten können? Im Vergleich von 45ern, Halbstarken, 68ern, 78ern, Generation Golf und Generation Praktikum zeigt David Bebnowski, dass vor allem jene Generationen ›übersehen‹ werden, von denen radikale politische Opposition erwartet wird.
