  • Fun with Barbie: Culture Jamming an American Icon Kathleen Knight Abowitz Miami University February 2000
    Fun with Barbie: Culture jamming an American icon Kathleen Knight Abowitz Miami University February 2000 Like most American girls of the last several generations, I have a Barbie story or two. I remember begging my mother to buy me Barbies. She wouldn’t, but not because she’s a feminist. My mother thought Barbies were expensive and a waste of money. As a grandmother, she therefore cringes when she realizes what a Barbie junkie my 5-year- old niece has become. She has no less than 13 Barbies and the required accoutrements: Barbie house, Barbie car, and full-size Barbie jeep that my brother was desperately putting together in his basement on Christmas eve two years ago. It was 2 in the morning and he was blearily peeling and attaching the pink and purple stickers that decorate the jeep. My niece spun around in the jeep all Christmas morning, but now, over a year later, it only serves as an expensive Barbie storage unit in the corner of her room. In this essay, I want to examine the cultural production known as Barbie. I will discuss how a group of citizens are resisting Barbie’s message through a practice known as "culture jamming." Groups such as the Barbie Liberation Organization are engaging in cultural critiques through their activism, resisting and re-coding the signs and meanings of Barbie. Barbie as a mediated cultural icon First, let me dispel the notion that Barbie is "just a doll" or just another piece of plastic formed and dressed by factory workers. As the example of my niece indicates, "Barbie" is not just a doll but a whole world of toys, games, and objects purchased for girls.
