you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for an amazing reason

[gouged-doll]

would you ever want to share a book/essay etc list about dolls? saw you reference a few writings in your response to other asks would be cool if you shared the stuff you’ve read. I have a very similar fascination

here is a few off the top of my head: edison’s eve (highly recommend, no pdf)

on the marionette theatre - pdf

almost human - dolls and robots in contemporary art - pdf

a study of dolls - pdf

on longing - narratives of the miniature (dollhouses) - pdf

the youngest doll - pdf

puppets, masks, and performing objects - pdf

exploring the uncanny valley - pdf

the uncanny - pdf

sex dolls at sea (history of sex dolls) - pdf

the sex doll by ferguson

uncanny dolls: images of death in rilke and freud

the uncanny afterlife of dolls: reconfiguring personhood through object vivification in gothic film

anthropology: playing with dolls

adjacent topics:

a cyborg manifesto - pdf

technologies of the gendered body, reading cyborg women - pdf

how we became posthuman - pdf

the social life of things - pdf

vibrant matter - pdf

the arcades project by benjamin walter - pdf

postmodernism, the culture of late capitalism - pdf

i may be missing some but i can add to this. i may put together a list of media/technology/surveillance as well as i have quite a few collected. also i highly recommend the book “what do pictures want?” by w.j. t. mitchell. not related to dolls but it talks on the agency of the image which relates so much to dolls imo.
