  • A Boneca Barbie: Relações Entre Design Do Produto, Representação Do Feminino E Significação
    XII Semana de Extensão, Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação - SEPesq Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis A boneca Barbie: relações entre design do produto, representação do feminino e significação Laura Felhauer Toledo Mestranda em Design Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] Suelen Rizzi Mestranda em Design Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] César Steffen Doutor em Comunicação Social Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] Resumo: O artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um breve histórico da boneca Barbie levando em consideração o contexto social e as alterações realizadas no design do produto. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa desde o surgimento da boneca Barbie em 1959, idealizada por Ruth Handler após conhecer a boneca “Bild Lili” em uma viagem a Alemanha e lançada pela Mattel- empresa criada por ela e o marido- chegando até a contemporaneidade, onde é possível encontrar diversos modelos de Barbies, pois a boneca passou por modificações nas formas corporais e estéticas. Primeiramente foram feitas pequenas alterações na forma e na mobilidade, depois foram acrescentadas opções de bonecas oriundas de outras etnias, modificando o tom da pele e cabelo e alguns traços faciais. Em 2016 foi lançada a coleção “Barbie Fashionistas 2016”, na qual a Mattel introduz três novos tipos de corpo – “Tall”, “Curvy” e “Petite”. Para entender como as mudanças formais e estéticas do produto podem ter diferentes significações para as crianças, foi necessário relacionar o histórico da boneca com o contexto de cada momento. Pretende-se mostrar a evolução no design dos corpos das bonecas Barbie ao longo dos anos, evidenciando suas principais diferenças e mudanças, com a finalidade de entender as significações que essas alterações podem gerar.

"Angela Merkel is an incredible role model and with this unique Angela Merkel Barbie Doll we want to honour and recognize her impact and influence on women all over the world to whom she has been a tremendous inspiration." said Richard Dickson, GM and Senior Vice President of Barbie. "For 50 years Barbie has inspired girls to believe they can be anything, and Chancellor Merkel certainly brings that message to life for girls worldwide." With Forbes Magazine naming her "the most powerful woman in the world at present time" for three years in a row, Angela Merkel represents what lies at the core of the Barbie brand. As Ruth Handler, Barbie's creator, explained; "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices." The Angela Merkel Barbie doll will be exhibited at the International Toy Fair in Mattel's showroom from the 5th-10th February, beginning a year of celebrations to mark Barbie's five decades as a Fashion Icon and Princess of Pop culture.

Barbie: The Real Enemy? By: Shelby Wolfinger Wolfinger 1 Barbie: The Real Enemy? Introduction Barbie has been the subject of many debates about body image dissatisfaction and the negative impacts this doll has on adolescent children; my thesis will expand upon this and explore the possibility that the Barbie Doll can create long lasting effects on women throughout their adulthood. This argument examines the scholarships which suggests that Barbie has negative effects on young children. I then conduct primary research in the form of detailed surveys with women aged twenty-one and over. Using this mixed methods approach, I determine whether or not the problems created by Barbie among young children will affect women in their teenaged years and into adulthood. I am specifically looking at cross-sections within the lives of various women to see the perception of body image. By obtaining and analyzing this data, I form the conclusion that body image and its connection to early childhood play and engagement with the Barbie Doll does not create a body dissatisfaction among adults.

  • Ruth Handler Watched Her Daughter Barbara at Play with Paper Dolls, and Noticed That She Often Enjoyed Giving Them Adult Roles
    Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara at play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult- bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, and so were Mattel's directors. During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955, and although it was initially sold to adults, it became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were available separately.The adult-figured Lilli doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. Upon her return to the United States, Handler reworked the design of the doll and the doll was given a new name, Barbie, after Handler's daughter Barbara. The doll made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. This date is also used as Barbie's official birthday. The first Barbie doll wore a black and white zebra striped swimsuit and signature topknot ponytail, and was available as either a blonde or brunette. The doll was marketed as a "Teen-age Fashion Model." The first Barbie dolls were manufactured in Japan, with their clothes hand- stitched by Japanese homeworkers.

Take one 22-year-old basketball player with a rare physical characteristic—a 296-­ pound physique spread over 7 feet, 6 inches. Stir in sleek mid-range jump shots, smooth passing skills, shot-blocking ability, court speed, and a plethora of low post moves. Add in charisma with a dash of humor. And, one more thing: Make him from China, the world’s most populous nation, with an untapped market of 1.393 billion people. From the casting comes Yao Ming— “the next big thing” for interna- tional services and global business. Ming, the Next Big Thing Straight from the Basketball Association of the People’s Republic of China, Yao was the frst international player ever selected as the number one overall pick by the NBA’s Houston Rockets. Despite an expected lengthy adjustment period, Yao was a solid contributor to the Rockets almost immediately. In a November game against the Los Angeles Lakers in his frst year in the NBA, Yao scored 20 points; 4 days later, he had 30 points and 16 rebounds against the Dallas Mavericks. On December 3, against the San Antonio Spurs and two of the NBA’s foremost “big men,” David Robinson and Tim Duncan, Yao dazzled again: 27 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
