Released in 1916, The Pawnshop is a synthesis of Chaplin's short-films and functions as a comic laboratory, in which the artist and his crew develop subversive experiments, that defy bourgeois values.The first chapter of this dissertation presents an analysis of The Pawnshop, its context and its "elective affinities" to French surrealism, as well as the biomechanics developed by Meyerhold and Brecht's epic theater in order to show the revolutionary potential of cinema in a time of increasing clashes between capital and labor.This detailed analysis provides another perspective to Modern Times (which we discuss in the chapter two), different than a teleological one.Released twenty years later, in 1936, Modern Times is Chaplin's last silent film.In this work, Chaplin reflects on fordism, the mechanization of man, the social problems of the Great Depression and the contradictions of capitalism.And through self referentiality, the film tries to sabotage the system, "refunctioning" it in a progressive way
