Abstract
Anna-Sophie Jürgens reconstructs how the concept of the clown robot has been condensed in literature, film, theater, and comics using the example of the Joker character. She shows that this popular icon is a kind of reversal of the notion of the human machine, ironizing our fascination with technological progress.
