Künstliches Geschlechtswesen oder Geschöpf aus Fleisch und Blut? Diese Verunsicherung, die Fotografien geschlechtlich ausgestatteter Puppen evozieren können, resultiert aus dem Prinzip der Verdopplung: Die Puppe ist unser Doppelgänger, die Fotografie entsteht als indexikalische Lichtspur der »Wirklichkeit« und das Geschlecht ist Effekt performativer Wiederholungen. Aufgrund ihrer strukturellen Analogien ziehen sich alle drei Instanzen regelrecht an und potenzieren sich in ihrer unheimlichen Qualität. Denn jedes Double verfügt über das Potential, vertraute Vorstellungen zu bestätigen und in Frage zu stellen. Die fotografierte Puppe scheint den authentischen Körper bzw. das Geschlecht zu präsentieren und führt gleichzeitig beides als Artefakt vor. Auf der Suche nach dem echten Körper treffen wir nur auf seinen Stellvertreter. In diesem Wechsel zwischen wahr und falsch wird das fotografische Puppenbild gleichsam zur aktiven Instanz, die uns unsere Erwartungshaltung und Wahrnehmungsmuster vorführt. Die Analyse der fotografischen Arbeiten Hans Bellmers, Pierre Moliniers und Cindy Shermans spürt den Obsessionen der Puppe nach, die Künstler/innen wie Betrachter/innen nicht mehr loslässt.

Music and fashion: the deep connection between these two expressive worlds is firmly entrenched. Yet little attention has been paid to the association of sound and style in the early twentieth century-a period of remarkable and often parallel developments in both high fashion and the arts, including music. This beautifully written book, lavishly illustrated with fashion plates and photographs, explores the relationship between music and fashion, elegantly charting the importance of these arts to the rise of transatlantic modernism. Focusing on the emergence of the movement known as Neoclassicism, Mary E. Davis demonstrates that new aesthetic approaches were related to fashion in a manner that was perfectly attuned to the tastes of jazz-age sophisticates. Looking in particular at three couturiers-Paul Poiret, Germaine Bongard, and Coco Chanel-and three breakthrough fashion magazines-La Gazette du Bon Ton, Vanity Fair, and Vogue-Davis illuminates for the first time the ways in which fashion's imperatives of originality and constant change influenced composers such as Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, and Les Six. She also considers the role played by the Ballets Russes, and explores the contributions of artists including costume and set designer Léon Bakst, writer and director Jean Cocteau, Amédée Ozenfant, and Pablo Picasso. The first study to situate music in this rich context, Classic Chic demonstrates the profound importance of the linked endeavors of composition and couture to modernist thought. In addition to its innovative approach to this important moment in history, Davis's focus on the social aspects of the story makes the book a tremendously engaging read.
