Pinocchio, Puppets, and Modernity (eBook, ePUB)

The Mechanical Body
Redaktion: Pizzi, Katia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The concept of this book is to reassess Pinocchio originally, alongside puppets and marionnettes within modernity, as a figure characterized by a 'fluid identity', informed with transition, difference, joie de vivre, otherness, displacement and metamorphosis. As such, Pinocchio is a truly modern, indeed a postmodern and posthuman cultural icon.
