The Vamp and the Machine: Technology and Sexuality in Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS

'''Huyssen, Andreas. "The Vamp and the Machine: Technology and Sexuality in Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS."' New German Critique'' 24-25 (Fall-Winter 1981-82): 221-37. Coll. After the Great Divide: Modernism, Mass Culture, Postmodernism. Bloomington, IN: Indiana UP, 1986.

See for the sexual politics of METROPOLIS and their historical context in terms of (1) the debate over technology between the Expressionists and those championing The New Objectivity, (2) the history of the male imaging of technology as female, and (3) the conflict between capital and labor. An important essay.
