Overview

This book brings together scholars from theology, film studies, psychology, and related disciplines to discuss the Barbie movie as an interpretation of culture, and as a cultural phenomenon in its own right.

The chapters analyze the cultural impact of the movie on its own terms, critically engaging its explicit attempts to offer social critiques of capitalism, patriarchy, ableism, and racism. The scholars in this volume come from a range of disciplinary perspectives, and identify various ways in which the movie engages dominant cultural narratives-resisting, rewriting, retelling, and accommodating the stories we tell as a society about race, gender, sex, economics, beauty, death, the nature of God, and human embodiment.
