The Nazi Worker is the second in a three-volume project on the
figure of the worker and, by extension, questions of class in
twentieth-century German culture. It is based on extensive research
in the archives and informed by recent debates on the politics of
emotion, the end of class, and the future of work. In seven
chapters, the book reconstructs the processes by which National
Socialism appropriated aspects of working-class culture and
socialist politics and translated class-based identifications into
the racialized communitarianism of Volksgemeinschaft (folk
community). Arbeitertum (workerdom), the operative term within
these processes of appropriation, not only established a discursive
framework for integrating proletarian legacies into the cult of the
German worker. As a social imaginary, workerdom also modelled the
work-related emotions (e.g., joy, pride) essential to the culture
of work promoted by the German Labor Front. The contribution of
images and stories in creating these new social imaginaries will be
reconstructed through highly contextualized readings of the debates
about workerdom, Nazi movement novels, worker’s poetry,
workers’ sculpture, as well as industrial painting, photography,
film, and design.
