Автор:Anson Rabinbach Год: [не указано] Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 0520078276 Science once had an unshakable faith in its ability to bring the forces of natureeven human natureunder control. In this wide-ranging book Anson Rabinbach examines how developments in physics, biology, medicine, psychology, politics, and art employed the metaphor of the working body as a human motor. From nineteenth-century theories of thermodynamics and political economy to the twentieth-century ideals of Taylorism and Fordism, Rabinbach demonstrates how the utopian obsession with energy and fatigue shaped social thought across the ideological spectrum.
