In the 1970s, a multifaceted alternative scene developed in West
Germany. At the core of this leftist scene was a struggle for
feelings in a capitalist world that seemed to be devoid of any
emotions. Joachim C. Haberlen offers here a vivid account of these
emotional politics. The book discusses critiques of rationality and
celebrations of insanity as an alternative. It explores why
capitalism made people feel afraid and modern cities made people
feel lonely. Readers are taken to consciousness raising groups,
nude swimming at alternative vacation camps, and into the squatted
houses of the early 1980s. Haberlen draws on a kaleidoscope of
different voices to explore how West Germans became more concerned
with their selves, their feelings, and their bodies. By
investigating how leftists tried to transform themselves through
emotional practices, Haberlen gives us a fresh perspective on a
fascinating aspect of West German history.
