Abstract

:This article examines the television presence of physicist Robert Oppenheimer. I argue that the aesthetics of those appearances operate ambivalently: they mechanize and instrumentalize Oppenheimer for the military-industrial complex but also provide countervailing aesthetics and oppositional ideologies. Studying these ambivalences reveals the origins and functions of Cold War television.
