0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Automata; in relations to Aesthetics; and SocietyBy Matthew SimonI enjoyed this book very much. My primary interest was the relationship between early opera; music; and dance; and stage design such as found in the Drottningholm Palace theatre in which perspective (Brunelleschi) became significant; as well as use of automated lighting; etc. Kara Reilly fails to define exactly what she means by "automata"; and this defines her book. Two definitions exist: one in which machines seem to move and approximate living things (used by Reilly); the other is modern and is more specific. The first half of the book about automata and the theatre was very good. This covered up to and including Descartes. After Descartes; Reilly fails to mention that automata are equivalent to Chomsky languages; thus Reilly doesnt deal with the relationship of automata and languages and the theatre. For example; she doesnt deal with the famous Turing test (effectively; can a person differentiate between a person and a computer). However; the material after Descartes is precisely about that subject. This immediately affects Reillys views about the significance of Robots and androids in theatre. Reillys research about the silk weavers in Lyon; the Canutes and automata (looms; and weavers being replaced by automata) was VERY good; but she fails to mention (to be aware of) the Canutes {The Lyon Uprising of 1834: Social and Political Conflict in the Early July Monarchy (Study in Urban History)} being at the bottom of proletarian protest in the 1834 French Revolution; of significance to the observing Tsarist government chinovniki (officials). However; she is very concerned with this question concerning proletarians. Thus the relationship about political aspects of the subject is extremely limited. Matthew Simon
