Heißer Herbst revisited? Eine unruhige Mitte auf dem Weg zum Protest

Abstract

Ökonomische Unsicherheiten führen auch in der Mitte der Gesellschaft zu wachsendem Prekarisierungsdruck. Prekarisierungsprozesse durchziehen eine breite gesellschaftliche Gruppe (Castel, 2009, S. 30). Es ist nicht mehr die vielzitierte Unterschicht, die sogenannten Bildungsfernen oder Menschen in segregierten Stadtteilen, die wirtschaftliche Sorgen als bedrohlich empfinden. Das wallende Inflationsgeschehen, der Beginn eines asymmetrisch geführten Wirtschaftskriegs zwischen Russland und der EU und steigende Zinsen bringen auch die gesellschaftliche Mitte in ökonomische Nöte, zumindest in wirtschaftliche Ängste. Der Beitrag beschreibt Handlungsmuster, die Mittelschichtsangehörige als Reaktion auf makrosoziale Veränderungen anwenden. Dabei richtet sich der Fokus auf abweichende Verhaltensweisen, die gemeinhin nicht mit der Mittelschicht in Verbindung gebracht werden.
