THE EROTIC DOLL: A MODERN FETISH
Resurrection Vintage is excited to presentĀ The Erotic Doll: A Modern Fetish, byĀ Marquard Smith. The Erotic DollĀ is the first book to explore men's complex relationships with such inanimate forms from historical, theoretical, and phenomenological perspectives. All copies are "new-old stock" thatĀ have been stored and maintain original cellophane wrapping, and are in excellent "new old stock" vintage condition.Ā
Since the 19th century, dolls have served as toys but also as objects of obsession, love, and lust. That century witnessed the emergence of the term "heterosexual" and of modern concepts of fetishism, perversity, and animism. Their convergence, and the demands of a growing consumer society resulted in a proliferation of waxworks, shop-window dummies, and customized love dolls, which also began to appear in art. Oskar Kokoschka commissioned a life-sized doll of his former lover Alma Mahler; Hans Bellmer crafted poupĆ©es; and Marcel Duchamp fabricated a nude figure in his environmental tableauĀ Etant donnĆ©s.Ā Challenging our commonsense grasp of the relations between persons and things, Marquard Smith examines these erotically charged human figures by interweaving art history, visual culture, gender, and sexuality studies with the medical humanities, offering startling insights into heterosexual masculinity and its discontents.
Marquard SmithĀ is research leader and head of doctoral studies in the School of Humanities, The Royal College of Art, London, and editor-in-chief of theĀ Journal of Visual Culture.
