Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]rather than providing a genealogy of an intellectual school, the book is a history of specific engagements with popular culture in particular historical and medial contexts. Matala de Mazza deliberately does not ground the project in a larger social-theoretical framework (a familiar component of other Foucauldian, Weberian, or Luhmannian habilitation-like books), but she makes sure to highlight the productive relationships of a variety of “minor” literary/critical forms— feuilleton, tableau, physiology, etc.—to the nascent social thought of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. On the one hand, carnivalesque festivities represent a continuity of the present with revolutionary cultural politics—they stage the dance on the ruins of the old regime—but commercialism and depoliticization bring these festivities back into the orbit of the prerevolutionary aristocratic fête and its ephemeral hedonism.
