Much more labour must go into representing a puppet as female, revealing the myth of ‘neutrality’—the neutral body is, in fact, read as male. This raises the question of the role of ambiguity when a ‘neutral’ puppet insists on being female. Both Freud’s unheimliche (1919) and Masahiro Mori’s uncanny valley effect (1970) link the uncanny with ambiguity; as dead-yet-animated objects, puppets therefore find an easy home within this designation. A closer look reveals intersectional issues at play; Leigh Johnson, for instance, has linked the uncanny valley effect with racial ambiguity (2009). \u0000 \u0000I wish to push this link further by examining the uncanniness of the apparently ‘neutral’ puppet body—a puppet lacking clear female markers such as long hair, breasts, red cheeks and lips—performing as female. Connecting the construction of neutrality (the sterile body of the corpse, unmarked by non-normative identity signifiers) to anxieties surrounding contamination, I link this contamination to the monstrous body of the ambiguously female, overflowing in signification. I suggest that while puppetry is a site for gender bias via the myth of neutrality, it also represents a subversive site with the potential to trouble and reveal such identity constructions, through a productive uncanniness that asks us not just to experience, but to linger within the ambiguity of the monstrous body.","PeriodicalId":101605,"journal":{"name":"Women and Puppetry","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122951436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
