Disarticulate the integrity of the human form

The following text describes Hans Bellmer's dolls series that can be found here. I can not understand the meaning of the highlighted sentence. Can anybody help me with it , please? It seems to mean "the strange way that these dolls look not only make them to look like human but also on the contrary question the integrity of human body form". But it does not make sense Emotion: sad

Text:
The images of the dolls’ fragmented body parts articulated in poses that are sadistic and creepy, as well as being projection screens for the anxiety induced by the real-life threats to his masculinity, also threaten that masculinity in the sense that their uncanny gazes, while simulating the human, disarticulate the integrity of the human form (Art and Psychoanalysis by Maria Walsh).

I'm with you. I don't see how gazes can disarticulate anything. I am going to say the writer made a mistake that resulted in nonsense, but I don't see what that mistake could have been.

  • Their gazes are how their eyes look to an observer, not the way the dolls look to our eyes, by the way.
  • Also you "cannot" understand, not "can not".
