Produktbeschreibung
This book goes beyond traditional adaptation studies approaches to show how naturalism and early cinema intervened in the era's experiments with temporality and time management. It shows how US naturalist novels are constructed around a formal and thematic interrogation of the relationship between human freedom and temporal inexorability and that the early film developed in the context of naturalist experiments with time. Fusco identifies the silent cinema and naturalist novel's privileging of narrative progress over character development as a symbolic solution to social and aesthetic concerns from systems of representation, to historiography, labor reform, miscegenation, and birth control.
