How Contemporary are Charlie Chaplin’s 'Modern Times'?
Journal Title: Intellectum - Year 2007, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study describes the relation between the fordist production system, as presented in the movie ‘Modern Times’, and the Post-Fordist system, as presented and configured during the last quarter of 20th century. In this way, Charlie Chaplin’s work is ascribed the time-enduring quality it deserves.
