- W609502863 abstract "Following the First World War, perceptions of the state of reading were dominated by a sense of crisis affecting sales. While some attributed the causes of this crisis to structural problems within the publishing industry, a more wide-spread view blamed the crisis on the decline of reading culture, seeing it as an expression of social changes affecting Germany in the wake of the First World War, primarily as manifested in the disintegration of the bourgeoisie. Thus, for example, the famous Jewish liberal publisher Samuel Fischer noted in 1926: ‘People practise sports, dance, spend their evening hours by the radio, in the cinema, and, outside working hours, everyone is so busy that nobody has time to read […].’1 He claimed that the War and the subsequent economic suffering had impoverished the bourgeoisie and destroyed its social fabric, which had been the bedrock of German intellectual and cultural life.2 The crisis of bourgeois associations which had represented the interests of various groups within the middle classes, organized cultural and leisure activities, and generally acted as a central component in social communication, was identified by him as one of the key processes which had changed the face of German society following the First World War. He thus interpreted the loss of interest in reading as a clear reflection of these changes. The literary associations, evenings of readings, libraries and drama associations were more than mere means of disseminating culture and knowledge: they were, according to fischer, responsible for creating a ‘feeling of shared German culture’ (ein Gemeinschaftsgefühl deutscher Kultur), and it was these associations which made reading a social event forging bonds between people." @default.
