Hellebust, Rolf.

Flesh to metal : Soviet literature and the alchemy of revolution / Rolf Hellebust.

Ithaca : Cornell University Press, 2003.

221 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

The "purest distillate of the utopian premises of Marxism," believes Hellebust (Germanic, Slavic, and East Asian studies; U. of Calgary; Canada), were transformative images that viewed the human body as metal and machine. He explores the artistic and political symbolisms of metal/body imageries in separate Soviet eras. Both literary and visual imagery is included. The Soviet Russian example is considered in the context of wider questions of modernity and technology. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
