In "American Puppet Modernism," Bell reveals how understanding
puppetry is integral to understanding the nature of the material
world in performance and in turn argues that the material world in
performance is integral as a means of communication. Insightfully
describing and analyzing different types of object performance from
the 1860s to 2007, Bell uses the common focus on material objects
in performance to link the worlds of traditional puppetry,
mechanized image performance, indigenous rituals, avant-garde
theater, political street performance, advertising, Kustom Kulture,
art cars, and film and television. "American Puppet Modernism"
shows how modern American culture has developed and revealed itself
in the performance of objects and" "offers a groundbreaking
contribution to the history of puppet, mask, and object
performance.
