Abstract
This article outlines the connections between Chaplin’s performing body, his comic style and its interrelationship with the forces of modernity. It argues for a need to recover Chaplin, not as an enshrined genius, but in his original energy, as a controversial modern artist whose art not only delighted and entertained, but also helped transform the world he was born into. Chaplin’s work offered something new; he laughed the world into a new physical realm, exploring the ambiguities – indeed the comedy – of the body of modernity.
