Fabricating Modern Societies: Education, Bodies, and Minds in the
Age of Steel, edited by Karin Priem and Frederik Herman, offers new
interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives on the history of
industrialization and societal transformation in early
twentieth-century Luxembourg. The individual chapters focus on how
industrialists addressed a large array of challenges related to
industrialization, borrowing and mixing ideas originating in
domains such as corporate identity formation, mediatization,
scientification, technological innovation, mechanization,
capitalism, mass production, medicalization, educationalization,
artistic production, and social utopia, while competing with other
interest groups who pursued their own goals. The book looks at
different focus areas of modernity, and analyzes how humans
created, mediated, and interacted with the technospheres of modern
societies. Contributors: Klaus Dittrich, Irma Hadzalic, Frederik
Herman, Enric Novella, Ira Plein, Francoise Poos, Karin Priem, and
Angelo Van Gorp.
