In der Auseinandersetzung über medienspezifische Vorgehensweisen gehört Sanders Portraitwerk zu den viel zitierten fotografischen Arbeiten. Mit der im Jahr 2002 von der Photographischen Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur herausgegebenen siebenbändigen Neuauflage des Werkes, das zunächst in einem Symposium und einem begleitenden Studienband eingehend reflektiert wurde, konnte eine neue Diskussionsgrundlage geschaffen werden.1 Beide Publikationen sowie die hierzu konzipierte Wanderausstellung, die zuletzt im Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin zu sehen war, argumentieren nah an Sanders überlieferten Gedanken zur Strukturierung und inhaltlichen Konzeption seines Portraitwerkes, das nachfolgend in der chronologischen Entwicklung erörtert wird.
Over the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in the concept of Fordism. It is no longer only used to describe a specific form of the organization of production. Rather, scholars stress the importance of a broader understanding. In my article, I pick up these discussions by showing, first, that a concept of Fordism only makes sense if the effects of the emerging consumer societies are seriously taken into account. Second, I argue in favor of a body history of Fordism, giving rise to the question as to what extent we might be able to speak of »Fordist bodies«. With reference to debates about periodization, third, I discuss how such an account fits into the history of industrialized societies since the late 19th century. By focusing on the discussion about post-Fordism, I argue that there is certainly some evidence for a »break« in the course of the 1960s and 1970s. Particularly from the perspective of body history, however, there are also indications that a reevaluation of the Fordist features of late 20th century societies is also called for.
