ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a summary of the transformation of class and gender based on a secondary analysis of statistical data and on a field survey that I performed in Nuremberg. This also reveals the change in social structure. The chapter points to dimensions in which class became relevant in the conducted interviews: as an expression of specific individual interests, in feelings of powerlessness due to one’s social position, in the attribution of specific everyday cultural practices regarding the self and the foreign, and as a description of unequal disposition of economic resources. The change and consistency of gender in South Nuremberg will be analysed based on two case examples: men’s domestic work and women’s industrial production work.
