    Can One Squander Their Purest Affections on Gruesome Foreign Bodies? Remarks on the Doll Motif in the Oeuvre of Marek Piasecki
    (universi - Universitätsverlag Siegen, 2022)
    The 1950s and 1960s series of black-and-white photographs by the Polish artist Marek Piasecki (1935-2011) entitled The Doll as well as the objects created in the same period in which the artist wove the motif of a doll are analysed in the context of the doll text by Rainer Maria Rilke and the work of Hans Bellmer, complemented by reflections by Anna Szyjkowska-Piotrowska, Georges Didi-Huberman and other contemporary authors.. Fragmentation of bodies in these works by Piasecki is not a device of eroticization or fetishization, as in Bellmer, but makes one aware of their defenceless fragility and mortality. As a typical abject Piasecki’s doll attract as much as they put one off; their presence verges on unbearable as it awakens the anxiety of death.

    Puppen und Puppenfiguren in Narrativen – Themen und Motive in Literatur, Kunst, Theater, Film, Medien, Alltags- und Populärkulturen
    This thematic issue deals with the diversity and potential of doll/puppet narratives in the broadest sense and with their universal and/or culture-specific forms, traces, traditions and folklore as well as with the interplay of the respective reception references. These narratives are traced in a variety of different literary, artistic, cinematic, (pop-)cultural and folkloristic genres as well as in pedagogically relevant fields. In addition, s specially designed short graphic novel questions the linking of classic puppet theater narratives with seminal AI-based automation fantasies.
