Description

Explore the evolution of a cultural icon in Pinocchio, Puppets, and Modernity: The Mechanical Body. Published by Routledge, this study examines how Pinocchio transitioned from a nineteenth-century figure born of a cultural fascination with puppets and marionettes into a symbol of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This collection looks at Pinocchio as a figure of fluid identity. By examining themes of transition, difference, and metamorphosis, the text positions the character as a modern, postmodern, and posthuman icon. It addresses concepts of otherness, displacement, and joie de vivre to provide a deep look at how this character reflects changing human perspectives. Designed for those interested in children's literature and culture, this work explores a field that has seen little previous study. It offers a fresh look at the relationship between mechanical bodies and cultural identity, making it a valuable resource for understanding how classic stories continue to shape our modern world.
