Body, Capital, and Screens: An Introduction
Résumé
To introduce Body, Capital, and Screens as a series of in-depth case studies at the intersection of f ilm and media studies and the social and cultural history of the body, we have chosen, as with all of the contributions, a f ilm emblematic for the chapter’s specif ic thematic focus: Victoire de la vie/Victor y of life (FR, 1937) by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Through these images, we intend to detail our approach illustrating how the material and social aspects of moving images have served as a hyphen between body politics, on the one hand, and the market as the 20th century’s primary form of social and economic organization, on the other. We lay out the framework for connecting bodies and capital with the signif icance of a century’s worth of utility media culture
