David Bowie, brinquedos adultos e outras
dimensões estranhas do universo de Twin Peaks
David Bowie, adult toys and other weird dimensions of the Twin Peaks universe

Goddard, MN; Silveira, F

Abstract

The article is based fundamentally on the authors' participation in the International Conference “I’ll See You Again. The return of Twin Peaks and generations of cult TV”, held on 21 and 22 May 2015, at the Department
of Arts and Media, at the University of Salford in England. Starting from there, it makes an irregular discussion of issues and working angles around the television series launched in 1990, a work by David Lynch
and Mark Frost. Some issues gain particular attention:
1) the relations of the series to the album Outside (1995) by David Bowie;
2) the population of adult toys related to the series, as derivative products, driven by fans in their most playful exercises of affection and remembrance. Despite the article’s intentionally adopted tone of an “academic report”, it can evoke rich theoretical questions in a field of objects that are in a complex upgrade process and have to be subsequently treated according to more regular methodological procedures, seeking further theoretical and epistemological clarifications.
