The Devil's Wheels

Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic

Beschreibung

Motorization: Focuses on the motorcycle not the car as the most important cultural commodity of early motorization in Germany. Gender and Consumption: Focuses on masculinity not only femininity in exploring how motorization as a practice of consumption shaped gender. Extends and amends standard interpretations of class and gender in the Weimar Republic. Unique archive of sources and interdisciplinary approach: From official juridical records to popular culture, takes a "mobility studies" approach to the history of motorization during the Weimar Republic.
