Als sichtbarer Akteur ist die Masse gegenwärtig weitgehend von der Bühne politischen und sozialen Handelns verschwunden. Und doch finden wir uns alle auch heute immerfort als Teilchen einer Masse angesprochen und erfasst, etwa in unserem Konsum- oder in unserem Wahlverhalten. Diese unterschiedlichen Auftritts- und Wirkungsformen der Masse verdanken sich nicht zuletzt einem Wandel der medialen Fassung der Menschenmenge. Mit Beiträgen von: Peter Friedrich, Michael Gamper, Uwe Hebekus, Susanne Lüdemann, Michael Neumann, Michaela Ott, Urs Stäheli, Ingrid Wurst und Burkhardt Wolf.

This book argues that modernists such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf engaged creatively with modernity's expanding forms of collective experience and performative identities. Judith Paltin compares patterns of crowds in modernist Anglophone literature to historical arrangements and theories of democratic assembly to argue that an abstract construction of the crowd engages with the transformation of popular subjectivity from a nineteenth-century liberal citizenry to the contemporary sense of a range of political multitudes struggling with intersectional conditions of oppression and precarity. Modernist works, many of which were composed during the ascendancy of fascism and other populist politics claiming to be based on the action of the crowd, frequently stage the crowd as a primal scene for violence; at the same time, they posit a counterforce in more agile collective gatherings which clarify the changing relations in literary modernity between subjects and power.

Mary Esteve provides a study of crowd representations in American literature from the antebellum era to the early twentieth century. As a central icon of political and cultural democracy, the crowd occupies a prominent place in the American literary and cultural landscape. Esteve examines a range of writing by Poe, Hawthorne, Lydia Maria Child, Du Bois, James, and Stephen Crane among others. These writers, she argues, distinguish between the aesthetics of immersion in a crowd and the mode of collectivity demanded of political-liberal subjects. In their representations of everyday crowds, ranging from streams of urban pedestrians to swarms of train travellers, from upper-class parties to lower-class revivalist meetings, such authors seize on the political problems facing a mass liberal democracy - problems such as the stipulations of citizenship, nation formation, mass immigration and the emergence of mass media. Esteve examines both the aesthetic and political meanings of such urban crowd scenes.
