“…Im Laufe der 1950er Jahre druckte diese dann immer häufiger internationale Rezepte ab. Im Jahr 1958 ergänzte man dann noch ein eigenes Kochbuch, welches die Köchin auf eine kulinarische Reise um die Welt einlud (EDEKA 2018, Wildt 2003. Mit diesen zusätzlichen Informationsangeboten ermutigte man von Seiten des Handels die Verbraucherinnen dazu, neue Güter auszuprobieren, und generierte sich selbst nach Möglichkeit langfristige Absätze.…”

“…Die USA avanciert zur Leitnation in Fragen esskultureller und konsumpraktischer Fragen und findet materiell, über Marken wie Coca-Cola, ebenso wie sozial, über neue Esspraktiken wie Fast Food, in den Haushalten der BRD Einzug (Hirschfelder 2018: 10). So spricht Wildt (2003) von einer Transformation »of influence from the personal to the semiotic [that] constituted a decisive change of consumption« (ebd. 111).…”

Der Reihe Re-Figuration von Räumen liegt die Prämisse zugrunde, dass das Soziale immer räumliche Formen annimmt. Die hier versammelten Studien befassen sich mit gegenwärtigen Transformationen sozial relevanter Räume und den damit verbundenen Konflikten, Krisen und Unsicherheiten. Sie untersuchen die These, dass es in diesen Transformationen und Konflikten ein gemeinsames Muster gibt, das als »Re-Figuration der Räume« bezeichnet wird. Die unterschiedlichen Wandlungsprozesse finden ihren Ausdruck in neu entstehenden Raumformen und -figuren, in den Kämpfen um die Aufrechterhaltung etablierter Raumstrukturen sowie den daraus resultierenden Figurationen. Oder mit anderen Worten: Der Raum ist ebenso wie die Zeit das Medium der Transformation der gegenwärtigen Gesellschaft, so dass die Analyse der Räume einen integrativen Ausgangspunkt für die Analyse der entstehenden Gesellschaftsmuster darstellt. Die Publikationen der Reihe entspringen dem Sonderforschungsbereich 1265 Re-Figuration von Räumen und damit aus sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Geographie, Architekturwissenschaft, Kommunikationswissenschaft, Stadtplanung und Europäischer Ethnologie. Sie nehmen mitunter eine theoretische Ausrichtung ein, beruhen zumeist aber auf empirischen Studien, die qualitative, quantitative oder visuelle Methoden verwenden. Die Reihe wird herausgegeben von Hubert Knoblauch und Martina Löw.Einkaufs(t)räume: Nach den Krisenjahren den Genuss des globalen Gartens im Selbstbedienungsladen erleben..

“…The material factors ensuring a good standard of living for many West Germans were secured in the 1950s through the economic recovery and a robust social system. 72 The 1960s saw rising disposable income and increased international travel changing people's outlook, while political and cultural alignment with the United States and other Western democracies set West Germany increasingly in a western way of life. 73 A change of leadership from the conservative Christian Democrats to the Social Democrats, as well as a generational change in the social elite, provided the impetus to challenge conservative attitudes.…”

Inhaling Democracy: Cigarette Advertising and Health Education in Post-war West Germany, 1950s–1975

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the West German government was faced with the challenge of addressing a damaging health behaviour, smoking, in the context of an emerging late modern democracy, when the precedent for addressing that behaviour was set in the Nazi past. This paper details the two-pronged approach which the government took: seeking restrictions on cigarette advertising, whilst educating young people to adopt positive health behaviours in the face of pressure to smoke. This approach can be understood in the social and economic context of the time: an economic commitment to the social market economy worked against restrictions on the sale of cigarettes; whilst concerns about past authoritarian structures prompted the health authorities to seek novel ways of addressing smoking, emphasising choice. In a nuanced way, post-war anti-smoking strategies were a response to West Germany's National Socialist past, but more importantly, a signal of an increasingly international outlook.

In the wake of claims that much of critical human geography has succumbed to the dreaded postmodern fatigue syndrome—symptoms include unrelenting tiredness, uncritical social somnambulance, spectral hallucinations, an unnatural preoccupation with the dead, and a tendency to submit to passive and reactive forces—the authors offer a paper that came to them during a dream dreamt alongside insomnia. Borne of exhaustion rather than tiredness, the dream-work lends consistency to a host of fragments drawn from the milieux of spatial science, political economy, poststructuralist philosophy, postmodern sociology, twentieth-century literature, and popular culture. As a work composed in the dead of night, the authors follow Deleuze and Foucault in affirming not the omniscient light of Bentham's generalised, ‘all-seeing’ Panopticon, but the ‘dark light’ of the blind power lurking in the shadowy world of the Dark Panopticon. Surprisingly, the exemplary mise-en-scéne for the resulting foray into the Heart of Darkness turns out to be the greengrocery that is invariably situated at the gateway to every supermarket and hypermarket. It is here that the authors sense the unbearable violence perpetrated against the flesh of the world—the flesh of soft fruit and animals, no less than the flesh of ourselves and the earth—and it is from here that the revenge of the zombie flesh takes hold (fetishistic depersonalisation and deindividuation), The authors argue that the human being is suspended, undone, and disseminated between the information society and the consumer society. Only our ‘en-trails’ are left amidst the flesh of the world. This undead dreamworld is less Orwellian than Kafkaesque: infinite suspense and perpetual regret.
