"The interface between the human body & the industrial machine in Fordist capitalism is explored using Gramsci's (1971)thoughts on the new type of corporate hegemony in the US. The work on scientific management by Frederick Winslow Taylor, who characterized the worker as a "trained gorilla," exemplifies howthe human body must be reduced to its physical animality to accommodate the new level of mechanization present in assembly-line work environments...."
