Alexis Weedon is Professor of Publishing Studies and Karen Randell is Professor of Film and Culture, both at the University of Bedfordshire,UK. Their British Academy funded project explores attitudes to the reconstructed body through the creative work of these two Hollywood stars of the 1920s. Their research investigates medical procedures, photos and diaries located at archives in the UK and USA to analyse five films which creatively and successfully addressed the latent fears of technologizing the body.
Transforming Faces for the Screen
This book brings together research from medical and film archives to illustrate the cultural impact of film and literature in its relationship to the discourse of plastic surgery in the 1920s. This different take on reading the body after the First World War enables students of multiple disciplines, and readers interested in both Hollywood and post-war culture, to understand some of the complexities of medical interventions gained after the First World War and the way in which they filtered into the world of Hollywood film making.
