In the early 20th century, as industrialization and capitalism were radically reshaping societies across the globe, two artists on opposite sides of the world crafted searing portrayals of the alienating effects this socioeconomic transformation was having on the human condition.Though working in different mediums - Franz Kafka through haunting literary parables, Charlie Chaplin through visceral cinematic satire - both gave profound creative expression to the existential plight of the individual reduced to a mere commodity, valued only for their economic utility.

The second was the alienation of the worker from the products of their labor, the act of production itself, and any authentic purpose orself-actualization.
