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
on longing - narratives of the miniature (dollhouses) - pdf
puppets, masks, and performing objects - pdf
exploring the uncanny valley - pdf
sex dolls at sea (history of sex dolls) - pdf
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
technologies of the gendered body, reading cyborg women - pdf
how we became posthuman - pdf
the social life of things - 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.
