Series Statement: Explorations in Mobility

Content: During the high days of modernization fever, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity, The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years.

Note: Description based upon print version of record. , Introduction : does the man make the motorcycle or the motorcycle the man? -- From pioneers to global dominance : the first forty years of the German motorcycle industry -- Engineering and advertising a motorized future -- Motorcycles and the "everyman" : exploring the motorcycling milieu -- "Is motorcycling even sport?" : strength and the national body during the Weimar Republic -- Deviant behaviors : inclusion, exclusion, and community -- Motoring Amazons? : women and motorcycling during the Weimar Republic -- Sex and the sidecar : sexuality, courtship, marriage and motorization -- Epilogue : the will to motor.
