Beskrivelse af Circus, Science and Technology
This book explores the circus as a site in and through which science and technology are represented in popular culture. Across eight chapters written by leading scholars ΓÇô from fields as varied as performance and circus studies, art, media and cultural history, and engineering ΓÇô the book discusses to what extent the engineering of circus and performing bodies can be understood as a strategy to promote awe, how technological inventions have shaped circus and the cultures it helps constitute, and how much of a mutual shaping this is. What kind of cultural and aesthetic effects does engineering in circus contexts achieve? How do technological inventions and innovations impact on the circus? How does the link between circus and technology manifest in representations and interpretations ΓÇô imaginaries ΓÇô of the circus in other media and popular culture? Circus, Science and Technology examines the ways circus can provide a versatile frame for interpreting our relationship with technology.
