Abstract (en)

Invokes Marxist and psychoanalytic models for understanding the compulsions and anxieties that give objects significance in late capitalist society, and discusses Rilke's definition of the specifically modern condition of sculpture in his essays on Rodin. Notes his essay on dolls in context of his account of the alienated condition of sculpture in the modern world.
