Summary	Silent cinema explored themes of mesmerism, possession and corporate bodies that subsumed individual identities. At the same time, critics were accusing film itself of exerting a hypnotic influence over its audience. This book shows that this anxiety over being governed by an outside force was a pervasive concern of the period.
