Long abstract | Chapter Five reflects on the biopolitical belief, prevalent in modernity through to the 1950s, that colour profoundly influences the organism. At the time, colour advisors, colour consultants, and colour psychologists used and disseminated this dominant discourse. It was used to control and discipline human behaviour, including the film spectator. |
