Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 54
Abstract
The article explores similarities and divergencies in how The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, doll-house style dioramas built by Frances Glessner Lee in the 1930s and 1940s in order to train homicide detectives, and miniature crime scenes crafted by a protagonist of the season 7 of the TV show CSI: Las Vegas modelled on them, figure female frustration connected with the traditional shape of family and domesticity. The dioramas reveal and simultaneously contain the foundational Derridean darkness underlying the concept of domesticity.<br/><br/>
