Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There was something uncanny about Charlie Chaplin. His fellow actors spoke of him as inhuman--automaton-like. His stiff, comic movements could be viewed as an attempt to parody the newly developed production lines of Henry Ford's revolutionary factories. As wide-scale application of this technology…spread to Soviet Russia, Chaplin's slapstick comedic style also found a following among the artists carving out a new society under communism. In The Chaplin Machine, Owen Hatherley unearths the hidden history of Soviet film, art, and architecture. Turning upside down the common view that the communist avant-garde was austere and humorless, he reveals an unexpected comedic streak that found its inspiration in the slapstick of the American performers Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. What did it mean for socialists to combine the ideas of Chaplin and Ford Were their experiments indicative of a new future conception of work and leisure And to what degree was this emphasis on comedy a precursor to the strangely festive despotism of Stalin By asking these questions, The Chaplin Machine challenges our understanding of twentieth-century art in America and abroad.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Few countries provoke as much passion and controversy as Israel. What is Modern Israel convincingly demonstrates that its founding ideology - Zionism - is anything but a simple reaction to antisemitism. Dispelling the notion that every Jew is a Zionist and therefore a natural advocate for the… state of Israel, Yakov Rabkin points to the Protestant roots of Zionism, in order to explain the particular support Israel musters in the United States. Drawing on many overlooked pages of history, including English, French, Hebrew, Yiddish and Russian sources, Yakov Rabkin shows that Zionism was conceived as a sharp break with Judaism and Jewish continuity. Israel's past and present must be seen in the context of European ethnic nationalism, colonial expansion and geopolitical interests, rather than as an incarnation of Biblical prophecies or a culmination of Jewish history.
