italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Charlotte,
as far as earlier 20th century publications which deal with the merging of
bodies and technological devices, you may perhaps consider F.T. Marinetti's
novel 'L'alcova d'acciaio'. Also, some of Alberto Savinio's stories (where
bodies merge with pieces of furniture etc.) may be of interest.
Best,
Enrico
