    Anthropomorphe Artefakte und literarische Fiktion. Über Kazuo Ishiguros Roman Klara und die Sonne und E.T.A. Hoffmanns Erzählung Der Sandmann
    (universi - Universitätsverlag Siegen, 2022)
    The essay relates Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Klara and the Sun from 2021 to E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story The Sandman from 1816. Both literary texts address the effect of anthropomorphic artifacts on human characters within the narrated world. The essay elaborates on the extent to which Ishiguro’s novel references Hoffmann’s narrative. It becomes clear that both literary texts question the boundary between human and thing without dissolving this boundary. With their very different narrative styles, both texts involve the reader and allow participation in the humanization of the anthropomorphic artifacts.

    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.
