"At a time when the humanities face a profound crisis of relevance, this volume gathers a series of interdisciplinary essays that exemplify the pertinence of German Studies scholarship to urgent problems related to work in contemporary life. Focusing on two historical paradigm shifts, the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century and the technological revolution of the late twentieth and twenty-first, the editors and contributors present insightful literary, cinematic, and philosophical examinations that highlight fulcrum moments in the history of labor and political economy. By illuminating the past through the analyses of cultural artifacts, they probe possibilities for confronting current fluctuations in work environments and transformations of our economic way of life." - Richard T. Gray, Lockwood Professor in the Humanities, Emeritus, University of Washington. The essays in this volume explore how the humanities can contribute to an understanding of a fundamental aspect of human life: work. This volume explores how German literature has grappled with understanding work in times of disruptive change brought about by industrialization, rapid technological advances, and globalization. It adds a cross-disciplinary perspective by including contributions from the field of film studies, on the cinematic treatment of work, and from philosophy, on the normative questions posed by changing work environments"--

Die Beiträge in diesem Band befassen sich mit verschiedenen Ausprägungen von Arbeit bei Goethe und nehmen dabei sowohl Werk und Biographie als auch die Rezeption in den Blick. Zu Lebzeiten Goethes erfährt die Arbeit eine essenzielle mentalitätsgeschichtliche Veränderung, die eng an das Zusammendenken von Arbeit und Technik geknüpft ist. Diesen Wandel dokumentieren Goethes Werke in mehrfacher Hinsicht. So greifen sie etwa die Vielfalt der Vorstellungen über Arbeit auf, die von einer mühevollen, nützlichen Tätigkeit bis hin zu einem hervorbringenden, sinnhaften Tun reichen, und reflektieren somit die Ausweitung des Arbeitsverständnisses von einer ökonomischen zu einer anthropologischen Konstante. Darüber hinaus spiegeln sie das Alltagswissen im proto-industriellen Zeitalter über die Bipolarität der Arbeit als produktives und gleichzeitig destruktives Phänomen.

"A partire dall'inizio degli anni Novanta, con qualche anticipazione nel decennio precedente, in Italia, scrittori, registi, sceneggiatori ricominciano a raccontare il lavoro e lo fanno in maniera molto diversa da come lo si faceva negli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, negli anni inebrianti (per alcuni) del “miracolo economico”. In che modo si esprimono questi artisti? Privilegiando quali forme artistiche? Iscrivendosi in quale tradizione? Dialogando con quale corrente, opera o autore del passato? Sono opere impegnate politicamente, oppure gli intellettuali non hanno più tale possibilità d'intervento? Questi sono alcuni degli interrogativi a cui gli autori dei saggi qui raccolti cercano di dare una risposta, partendo da punti di osservazione e settori disciplinari talvolta molto diversi. Strumento di approfondimento su poetiche individuali e manuale sulle rappresentazioni artistiche del lavoro dagli anni Ottanta a oggi, 'Il lavoro raccontato' aggiunge un tassello utile al dibattito nazionale sull'argomento."--Back cover.
