Descriere completă

The age of high-tech is haunted by an image from the last century that developed in the three decades between the patenting of the cinematographe and its turn toward sound: the dancing machine, paradox of the ease of mechanization and its tortures, embodiment of the motor and the automaton, image and fragmentation. An excavation of this image, in the historical context of maximum productivity and mechanical reproducibility, reveals its development in European Modernism - Modernism drawn to dancers of American, African and Asian origins, to Taylorism as well as to Primitivism to cinema and to myth. This book traces the abstraction and anonymity of the bodies making machines dance, in the codes of modernisms graphic and choreographic and in the streamlined gestures of industry, avant-garde art and entertainment. What surfaces is dance's centrality to machine aesthetics and to its alternatives as well as to the early elaboration of the machine aesthetics and to its alternatives, as well as to the early elaboration of the machine that would become the ultimate guarantor of modern dance's de-mechanization, the motion picture camera.
