having a personality is not a personality
“Sexual fetishism eroticizes inanimate things—shoes, garters, stone eggs, throbbing black obelisks, whatever—“it is at much at home with what is dead as with living flesh.” This logic extends to female bodies which literature compares to the inorganic—“alabaster, snow, precious stones”— and carves up into constituent parts like cadavers on the dissecting table. Cosmetics, clothing and gleaming accoutrements form an inorganic shield. In a glass-roofed world where streams run with asphalt, this inorganic armor does not rot or wither. The deathly modern body is a sublime object that has nothing much in common with the process of dying. Like the flapper’s cadaverous mask it disavows the process of aging, recalling the Sadean victim who survives endless mutilations without a scratch. Benjamin declares: “The sadist is bent on replacing the human organism with the image of machinery. Sade is the offspring of an age that was enraptured by automatons.” The Arcades Project is a cyborg manifesto.”
