FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Different concepts of the machine are pursued in essays on Fritz Lang&#039;s Metropolis, Alfred Jarry&#039;s pataphysical machines, and cosmological and political orders in sixteenth-century utopias. Cross-cultural tensions are examined in essays on the Christian appropriation of Aztec symbolism, and on Jesuit perspectives in an imperial Chinese garden in Beijing.
