Le present article s’attarde au role significatif devolu, durant le premier tiers du 20e siecle, a la representation culturelle des abattoirs comme embleme de la modernite industrielle. Il met toutefois moins l’accent sur la performance sacrificielle, telle que la commente le projet contemporain de Georges Bataille, que sur la scenographie machinique qui organise en Amerique la rencontre du travailleur et de l’animal et qui semble avoir fascine romanciers, dramaturges, cineastes et dessinateurs de cette periode. On s’emploiera a traquer deux topoi exemplaires : le premier a trait a l’animalisation du travailleur et le second a son effacement, a sa devoration par la machine qui se nourrit de lui et le transforme en viande.
