In this extraordinary study by philosopher of science François Dagognet, the intriguing figure of Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) emerges afresh. Known best for his innovative and influential chronophotography, Marey is studied here in the context of the full range of his interests and obsessions--as physician, physiologist, aviation researcher, pioneer in time-motion studies, and prodigious inventor. The impact of Marey's work was to stimulate a reconfiguration in many fields of the status of movement, time, consciousness, and the image. Thus Dagognet locates Marey at a crucial intersection of cultural, scientific, philosophical, and technological modernity. Marey's photographic work, his increasingly sophisticated techniques for recording motion, coincided historically with the rise of new models of the relation between the human body and the machine. Marey's achievement was to show that the living machine spawned by the forces of technological modernity must be thought of in terms of movement, which is reflected in his influence on Bergson, Futurism, Duchamp, and the rise of Taylorist methods of production. For Marey it was not just a question of understanding animal locomotion: with his constant fabrication of new recording devices he studies a world that could no longer be grasped by merely looking and sought to trace the kinetics of flow, turbulence in the air, and dynamics of water and wave patterns.

Book Description: ZONE BOOKS, United States, 1993. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 254 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904), the brilliant French physiologist, developed photographic techniques for the study of animal locomotion that directly influenced the invention of cinematography. His work and the images he created are among the very sources of modernity, yet his own history and background remain obscure. Marey's strange story emerges in this fascinating account of a voyage of scientific and aesthetic study that would have reverberations in many aspects of modern culture. Dagognet, a philosopher, focuses on the meaning of Marey's work, on being able to capture a trace of the usually invisible world of motion, for aesthetics and science.Marey succeeded Claude Bernard (whose passion for recording opened the frontiers of cinema and modern art) at the Academy of Sciences. There his central preoccupation led Marey to search out increasingly accurate and sensitive methods for "fixing" motion so that its details could be studied. Around 1880 and after a meeting with Muybridge, it became clear that photography, the possibility of a snapshot, would furnish Marey with the ideal instrument for his studies.Not only the gallop of a horse but also the flight of bird, the quivering of insect wings, the bounce of a ball, the slightest of turbulences - all could all be made to stand still: from the invisible came the image.FranA ois Dagognet teaches epistemology at the University of Lyon. Among his previous publications are Philosophie de l'image and RematA(c)rialiser. Zone 6: Incorporations includes his essay "Toward a Biopsychiatry.".
