Paperback. Condition: Like New. The simultaneous emergence of the serial killer and the assembly line as expressions of the rationality of modern production methods. In 1896, at the age of 35, Henry Howard Holmes, whose real name was Herman Webster Mudget, became the first serial killer in the United States, confessing to dozens of crimes. To carry out his activities quietly, he built in Chicago a building so vast that his neighbors called it the "Ch teau." Located just a stone's throw from the most sophisticated slaughterhouses in the world, lethal, practical, and comfortable, Holmes's building was equipped with the latest innovations. A rational, cozy masterpiece of crime dressed in slippers, Holmes's project fit perfectly into the functionalist project of the modern world. In The Murder Factory, Alexandra Midal examines the almost simultaneous emergence of the industrial revolution and the figure of the serial killer. Far from being a coincidence, it marks the rationality of new production methods-of which the assembly line and serial murder are two expressions. In the Holmes case, an antihero of modern history can shed light on the treatment of living things brought about by this economic, mechanical, and cultural revolution. H. H. Holmes's confessions, published in the Philadelphia Enquirer just before his execution in April 1896, follow Midal's text.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A counterhistory and new historiography of design.A counterhistory and new historiography of design.In Design by Accident, Alexandra Midal declares the autonomy of design, in and on its own terms. This meticulously researched work proposes not only a counterhistory but a new historiography of design, shedding light on overlooked historical landmarks and figures while reevaluating the legacies of design's established luminaries from the nineteenth century to the present. Midal rejects both linear narratives of progress and the long-held perception of design as a footnote to the histories of fine art and architecture. By weaving critical analysis of the canon of design history and theory together, with special attention to the writings of designers themselves, she draws out the nuances and radical potentials of the discipline-from William Morris's ambivalence toward industry, to Catharine Beecher's proto-feminist household appliances, to the Bauhaus's Expressionist origins, and the influence of Herbert Marcuse on Joe Colombo.

Condition: As New. : Este libro es una obra fascinante que explora la profunda y compleja relación entre el mundo del espionaje y el séptimo arte. A través de un formato de abecedario, la obra analiza cómo el cine ha retratado a los agentes secretos, desde los clásicos de 1913 hasta las producciones contemporáneas más aclamadas, examinando la influencia mutua entre las técnicas de filmación y las tácticas de inteligencia.La publicación incluye entrevistas exclusivas con figuras destacadas como Olivier Assayas, Arnaud Desplechin, Éric Rochant y Léa Seydoux, además de textos documentados que profundizan en la historia geopolítica reflejada en sagas icónicas como 007, Jason Bourne y series como 'Le Bureau des légendes'. Es una pieza esencial para cinéfilos y amantes del género, ricamente ilustrada con imágenes de rodajes, carteles y obras de arte que revelan los secretos detrás de la pantalla.
