摘要

This essay argues that the emergence of new factory systems andnmarket cultures in the United States included the promotion of “indus-ntrial religion.” Industrial religion is a discourse that attributes suprahu-nman power to raw materials and the mechanical technologies employednto convert those materials into consumer goods. Through descriptionsnof coal production in the Appalachian Mountains, factory supervisionnin the South, and soap promotions in the Northeast, we survey threenfoci of industrial religion: material power, technologies of conversion,nand cultures of consumption. We argue that American Protestant refor-nmers and industrialists collaborated to use industrial religion in ordernto civilize landscapes, cleanse bodies, and convert individuals into thenrequisite disciplines of modern labor and consumption. The pamphlets,nspeeches, and prescriptions of industrial religion narrated allegories ofnspiritual progress even as they defined the metrics of material success.
