Ist Stress westlich? Zum zeitgeschichtlichen Ort der Belastungssorge
- When does stress – understood as a bodily and psychological condition connected to rapid social change and the pressure to perform – become a social concern? Previous historical research has situated the topic exclusively in the West: stress as a characteristic condition of what is understood to be Western capitalism. Using the examples of the state socialist GDR and Czechoslovakia in the 1960s – 1980s, this contribution demonstrates how stress became a broad social concern in a non-liberal, noncapitalist context. It thereby challenges the notion that stress is a Western phenomenon, proposing instead to see it in the context of developed and “multiple” modernities.
