The book’s conclusion takes its discussion of special effects as a mode of cinematic expression into the present, noting the persistence of technoromantic attitudes in films made with the latest digital effects. Loew shows us that the formation of the genre of cinematic technological dystopia was internally driven by innovations in special effects as much as by the narratives of screenwriters, and that German film trick pioneers gave shape to the field from the very beginning. More than a history of a single facet of the German cinema industry, Loew’s book reveals the wide-ranging impact of material practices that shaped the forms of wonder that we continue to experience in our technologically mediated world.

Following the fifteenth-century rediscovery of Vitruvius’ De architectura (1st century C.E.) at the Monastery of St. Gall, European theorists sought to redefine architecture as a fundamentally rational, mathematical endeavor. Leon Battista Alberti’s influential 1450 treatise made a distinction between the manual labor of the carpenter and the intellectual labor of the architect, emphasizing the “sure and wonderful reason and method” and the “knowledge of all the highest and most noble disciplines” by which the architect “knows both how to devise through his own mind and energy, and to realize by construction, whatever can be most beautifully fitted out for the noble needs of man” (5). Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Pietro Cataneo similarly noted the “good judgment” (giudizio), “ingenuity” (ingegno, Cataneo 185), “subtle imagination” (sottile immaginazione), and “reason” (raciocinazio, Martini 36-7) required to create “a single, harmonious work” (Alberti 23).1 The well-ordered building, according to early modern formulations of architecture, was one in which the highest speculative abilities had been exercised, assuring “the most handsome and effective position, order, and number” (313) of each component of the design and the rigorous observation of the principles of proportion, decorum, and symmetry.
继15世纪在圣加尔修道院重新发现维特鲁威的《建筑学》(公元1世纪)之后,欧洲理论家试图将建筑重新定义为一种基本的理性和数学努力。莱昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂(Leon Battista Alberti)在1450年的一篇颇有影响力的论文中区分了木匠的体力劳动和建筑师的智力劳动,强调了“可靠而奇妙的理由和方法”以及“所有最高和最高贵的学科的知识”,建筑师“知道如何通过自己的思想和精力进行设计,并通过建筑实现,任何东西都可以最漂亮地适合人类的高贵需求”(5)。弗朗西斯科·迪·乔治·马蒂尼和彼得罗·卡塔内奥同样注意到“良好的判断力”(giudizio)、“独创性”(ingegno, Cataneo 185)、“微妙的想象力”(sotttile imaginazione)和“理性”(raciocinazio, Martini 36-7)需要创造“一个单一的、和谐的作品”(Alberti 23)根据早期现代建筑的公式,井然有序的建筑是运用了最高的推测能力的建筑,保证了每个设计组成部分的“最漂亮、最有效的位置、顺序和数量”(313),并严格遵守了比例、礼仪和对称的原则。

In this essay, we underscore the work of Sara Castro-Klarén and her multiple contributions to feminist, intersectional, and decolonial scholarship in the Americas. Her publications, conference presenta-tions, graduate teaching, and mentorship of early career researchers have had a far-reaching impact on the scholarship of the modern Latin American novel, literary and cultural theory, colonial studies, Peruvian studies, gender studies in Latin America and related fields, but in this brief piece, we focus on her contributions to feminist studies in her field.
