Anca Parvulescu's prehistory of facial recognition technologies retells the story of literary modernism through the prism of the human face. She constructs an arc between twenty first-century conversations about the politics of the face and those physiognomic discourses that reflect modernism's long, complex and fascinating cultural history.
