The Twilight of the Middle Class: Post-World War II American Fiction and White-Collar Work In The Twilight of the Middle Class, Andrew Hoberek challenges the widely held belief that post-World War II American fiction focused solely on the psychological and spiritual aspects of human experience, instead arguing that these works also responded to the transformation of the American middle class from small property owners to white-collar employees. Through a detailed analysis of works by Ayn Rand, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor, and Thomas Pynchon, among others, Hoberek presents a compelling new account of identity politics and postmodernism that sheds light on the current precarious state of the middle class. The book begins by examining how the post-war middle class experienced significant financial gains and job security, yet this very prosperity paved the way for their downward mobility in a country marked by increasing class divisions. Hoberek argues that post-war fiction provided the middle class with various imaginative substitutes for their former property-owning independence, which have since allowed and even abetted their decline. By exploring the connections between literature, economics, and history in the second half of the 20th century, Hoberek offers a fresh perspective on the roots of the contemporary crisis facing the middle class. Hoberek contends that the transition to white-collar employment was a crucial turning point in the evolution of the middle class.
Сумерки среднего класса: американская фантастика после Второй мировой войны и работа белых воротничков в сумерках среднего класса, Эндрю Хоберек бросает вызов широко распространенному убеждению, что американская фантастика после Второй мировой войны была сосредоточена исключительно на психологических и духовных аспектах человеческого опыта, вместо этого утверждая, что эти работы также отреагировали на трансформацию американского среднего класса из мелких владельцев недвижимости в белых воротничков. Благодаря детальному анализу работ Айн Рэнд, Ральфа Эллисона, Сола Беллоу, Филлипа Рота, Фланнери О'Коннор и Томаса Пинчона, среди прочих, Хоберек представляет новый убедительный отчет о политике идентичности и постмодернизме, который проливает свет на нынешнее ненадежное состояние среднего класса. Книга начинается с изучения того, как послевоенный средний класс испытал значительные финансовые выгоды и безопасность рабочих мест, однако само это процветание проложило путь для их нисходящей мобильности в стране, отмеченной растущим классовым разделением. Хоберек утверждает, что послевоенная фантастика обеспечивала средний класс различными образными заменителями их прежней независимости владения собственностью, которые с тех пор позволили и даже способствовали их упадку. Исследуя связи между литературой, экономикой и историей во второй половине XX века, Хоберек предлагает свежий взгляд на корни современного кризиса, с которым сталкивается средний класс. Хоберек утверждает, что переход к трудоустройству белых воротничков стал решающим поворотным моментом в эволюции среднего класса.
Crépuscule de la classe moyenne : fiction américaine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et travail en col blanc au crépuscule de la classe moyenne, Andrew Hoberek récuse la croyance largement répandue que la fiction américaine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale s'est concentrée uniquement sur les aspects psychologiques et spirituels de l'expérience humaine, affirmant plutôt que ces travaux ont également réagi à la transformation de la classe moyenne américaine de petits propriétaires immobiliers en col blanc. Grâce à une analyse détaillée des œuvres d'Ayn Rand, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor et Thomas Pinchon, entre autres, Hoberek présente un nouveau rapport convaincant sur la politique identitaire et le postmodernisme, qui met en lumière la précarité actuelle de la classe moyenne. livre commence par une étude de la façon dont la classe moyenne d'après-guerre a connu d'importants avantages financiers et la sécurité de l'emploi, mais cette prospérité elle-même a ouvert la voie à leur mobilité descendante dans un pays marqué par une division croissante des classes. Hoberek affirme que la science-fiction d'après-guerre a fourni à la classe moyenne divers substituts figuratifs à leur ancienne indépendance de propriété, qui ont depuis permis et même contribué à leur déclin. En explorant les liens entre la littérature, l'économie et l'histoire dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, Hoberek offre un regard nouveau sur les racines de la crise moderne à laquelle la classe moyenne est confrontée. Hoberek affirme que le passage à l'emploi en col blanc a marqué un tournant décisif dans l'évolution de la classe moyenne.

A través de un análisis detallado de las obras de Ain Rand, Ralph Ellison, Sol Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor y Thomas Pynchon, entre otros, Hoberek presenta un nuevo relato convincente sobre la política identitaria y el postmodernismo que arroja luz sobre la actual el estado poco fiable de la clase media. libro comienza con un estudio de cómo la clase media de la posguerra experimentó importantes beneficios financieros y seguridad laboral, sin embargo, esta prosperidad misma allanó el camino para su movilidad descendente en un país marcado por una creciente división de clases. Hoberek sostiene que la ficción de la posguerra proporcionó a la clase media diversos sustitutos imaginativos de su anterior independencia de poseer propiedades que, desde entonces, han permitido e incluso contribuido a su declive. Explorando los vínculos entre la literatura, la economía y la historia en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, Hoberek ofrece una visión fresca de las raíces de la crisis moderna que enfrenta la clase media. Hoberek sostiene que la transición hacia el empleo del cuello blanco fue un punto de inflexión crucial en la evolución de la clase media.

La fantascienza americana dopo la seconda guerra mondiale e il lavoro dei colletti bianchi nel crepuscolo della classe media, Andrew Hoberek sfida la convinzione diffusa che la fantascienza americana dopo la seconda guerra mondiale si sia concentrata esclusivamente sugli aspetti psicologici e spirituali dell'esperienza umana. sostenendo invece che questi lavori hanno reagito anche alla trasformazione della classe media americana da piccoli proprietari di immobili in colletti bianchi. Grazie a un'analisi dettagliata di Ayn Rand, Ralph Allison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor e Thomas Pinchon, tra gli altri, Hoberek presenta un nuovo e convincente rapporto sulla politica identitaria e sul post-modernismo che mette in luce le attuali precarie condizioni della classe media. Il libro inizia studiando come la classe media del dopoguerra abbia sperimentato notevoli benefici finanziari e la sicurezza dei posti di lavoro, ma la prosperità stessa ha aperto la strada alla loro mobilità discendente in un paese segnato da una crescente divisione di classe. Hoberek sostiene che la fantascienza del dopoguerra fornì alla classe media diversi sostituti della loro precedente indipendenza di proprietà, che da allora hanno consentito e persino contribuito al loro declino. Esplorando i legami tra letteratura, economia e storia nella seconda metà del XX secolo, Hoberek offre una visione recente delle radici della crisi contemporanea che la classe media affronta. Hoberek sostiene che il passaggio all'assunzione dei colletti bianchi sia stato un punto di svolta cruciale nell'evoluzione della classe media.
Die Dämmerung der Mittelschicht: Amerikanische Fiktion nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und Arbeiterarbeit in der Dämmerung der Mittelschicht, Andrew Hoberek stellt die weit verbreitete Überzeugung in Frage, dass sich die amerikanische Fiktion nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ausschließlich auf die psychologischen und spirituellen Aspekte der menschlichen Erfahrung konzentrierte. stattdessen behauptet, dass diese Werke auch auf die Transformation der amerikanischen Mittelschicht von kleinen Immobilienbesitzern zu Angestellten reagiert haben. Durch eine detaillierte Analyse der Werke unter anderem von Ayn Rand, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor und Thomas Pinchon präsentiert Hoberek einen neuen, überzeugenden Bericht über Identitätspolitik und Postmoderne, der die gegenwärtige prekäre tuation der Mittelschicht beleuchtet. Das Buch beginnt mit der Untersuchung, wie die Mittelschicht der Nachkriegszeit erhebliche finanzielle Vorteile und Arbeitsplatzsicherheit erlebte, aber dieser Wohlstand ebnete den Weg für ihre Abwärtsmobilität in einem Land, das von einer wachsenden Klassenspaltung geprägt war. Hoberek argumentiert, dass die Nachkriegsfiktion die Mittelschicht mit verschiedenen fantasievollen Substituten für ihre frühere Unabhängigkeit des Besitzes von Eigentum versorgte, die seitdem ihren Niedergang ermöglicht und sogar gefördert haben. Durch die Untersuchung der Verbindungen zwischen Literatur, Wirtschaft und Geschichte in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts bietet Hoberek einen frischen Blick auf die Wurzeln der modernen Krise, mit der die Mittelschicht konfrontiert ist. Hoberek argumentiert, dass der Übergang zur White-Collar-Beschäftigung ein entscheidender Wendepunkt in der Entwicklung der Mittelschicht war.

Orta Sınıfın Alacakaranlığı: İkinci Dünya Savaşı Sonrası Amerikan Kurgusu ve Orta Sınıfın Alacakaranlığında Beyaz Yakalı Çalışması Andrew Hoberek, II. Dünya Savaşı sonrası Amerikan kurgusunun yalnızca insan deneyiminin psikolojik ve manevi yönlerine odaklandığına dair yaygın inanca meydan okuyor. Bunun yerine, bu çalışmaların Amerikan orta sınıfının küçük ölçekli mülk sahiplerinden beyaz yakalı mülk sahiplerine dönüşümüne de cevap verdiğini savunuyorlar. Diğerlerinin yanı sıra Ayn Rand, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor ve Thomas Pynchon'un çalışmalarının ayrıntılı analizi ile Hoberek, orta sınıfın mevcut güvencesiz durumuna ışık tutan kimlik politikaları ve postmodernizme dair yeni ve çekici bir bakış açısı sunuyor. Kitap, savaş sonrası orta sınıfın nasıl önemli finansal faydalar ve iş güvenliği yaşadığını inceleyerek başlıyor, ancak bu refah, artan sınıf bölünmeleriyle işaretlenmiş bir ülkede aşağı doğru hareketliliklerinin önünü açtı. Hoberek, savaş sonrası kurgunun orta sınıfa, o zamandan beri düşüşlerini mümkün kılan ve hatta katkıda bulunan eski mülkiyet bağımsızlıkları için çeşitli figüratif ikameler sağladığını savunuyor. 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında edebiyat, ekonomi ve tarih arasındaki bağlantıları araştıran Hoberek, orta sınıfın karşı karşıya olduğu modern krizin köklerine yeni bir bakış açısı sunuyor. Hoberek, beyaz yakalı istihdama geçişin orta sınıfın evriminde çok önemli bir dönüm noktası olduğunu savunuyor.
شفق الطبقة الوسطى: الخيال الأمريكي بعد الحرب العالمية الثانية وعمل الياقات البيضاء في شفق الطبقة الوسطى، يتحدى أندرو هوبيريك الاعتقاد السائد بأن الخيال الأمريكي بعد الحرب العالمية الثانية يركز فقط على الجوانب النفسية والروحية للتجربة الإنسانية، بدلاً من ذلك، جادلت بأن هذه الأعمال استجابت أيضًا لتحول الطبقة الوسطى الأمريكية من أصحاب العقارات الصغيرة إلى أصحاب العقارات ذوي الياقات البيضاء. من خلال تحليل مفصل لعمل آين راند ورالف إليسون وشاول بيلو وفيليب روث وفلانيري أوكونور وتوماس بينشون، من بين آخرين، يقدم هوبيريك سردًا جديدًا مقنعًا لسياسات الهوية وما بعد الحداثة التي تلقي الضوء على الحالة الحالية المحفوفة بالمخاطر في الوسط الصف. يبدأ الكتاب بفحص كيف شهدت الطبقة الوسطى بعد الحرب فوائد مالية كبيرة وأمنًا وظيفيًا، ومع ذلك مهد هذا الازدهار الطريق لتنقلهم إلى أسفل في بلد يتميز بانقسامات طبقية متزايدة. يجادل هوبيريك بأن روايات ما بعد الحرب زودت الطبقة الوسطى ببدائل مجازية مختلفة لاستقلالها السابق في الملكية، والتي مكنت منذ ذلك الحين وساهمت في تدهورها. من خلال استكشاف الروابط بين الأدب والاقتصاد والتاريخ في النصف الثاني من القرن العشرين، يقدم هوبيريك منظورًا جديدًا لجذور الأزمة الحديثة التي تواجه الطبقة الوسطى. يجادل هوبيريك بأن التحول إلى العمالة من ذوي الياقات البيضاء كان نقطة تحول حاسمة في تطور الطبقة الوسطى.
