    Puppen als Seelenverwandte – biographische Spuren von Puppen in Kunst, Literatur, Werk und Darstellung
    This fourth issue of denkste: puppe / just a bit of: doll (de:do), a multidisciplinary online journal for human-doll discourses, takes up the thematic focus on dolls/puppets as soulmates – biographical traces of dolls/puppets in art, literature, work and performance. It is about the impact of early doll experiences in later artistic work and thus about the possible (biographical) roots and connections of doll motifs and doll narratives in artistic-literary work. Doll/puppet references in work and creative processes can transform early experiences of biographical breaks and harm or integrate them in an artistically productive way, but they can also be an expression of continuity and intensification of early experience and preferences. The present contributions deal with doll/puppet-related artistic forms of expression, which are formally presented in different ways: as science-based text, self-report, miscellaneous, review, interview and: work of art. Doll/puppet collections, the making of particular puppets, literary puppet texts, performances and images are examined and addressed. In addition, further contributions were included, which deal with dolls as variants of "artificial humans" in the most diverse thematic contexts. Most of the contributions indicate that the affinity to the “phenomenon of the doll” in its various artistic forms of realization refers to biographically shaped traces: as a means of expression and representation the doll thus also stands for something special about the human beings who refer to it artistically and interact and "play" with it.

    Puppen in Johann Wolfgang Goethes »Wilhelm Meister«-Komplex und Thomas Manns »Buddenbrooks« im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Bürger- und Künstlertum
    (universi - Universitätsverlag Siegen, 2021)
    Puppet theater represents a widespread, though little researched motif in the ‘Bildungsroman’ with regard to its function within the diegesis. According to the reading of this paper, however, puppet theater is ascribed a determinant effect within the diegesis, and its sense-making character is examined more closely. To this end, questions are asked about the introduction of the doll and puppet theater motif in the novel, about parallels between the exemplary works, about reciprocal relationships - also to the life of the respective authors, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Thomas Mann - as well as about the nature of the dolls/puppets and their metaphorical significance for the context of the novel.
