    Rare world children Black dolls and their history By: Jolie van der Klis Antique black dolls are rare — I actually wanted to write this line last year, to tell the history of the dolls that we may remember from childhood. At the time, I waived it: I didn't want to throw any fuel on any discussion.*) Meanwhile, even much more has happened on the world stage, the brutal murder of George Floyd, one of the many victims of police prejudice. I could of course postpone the article again, but, as I wondered down-hearted: how many years will I postpone it? *) Note: This refers to an awkward debate in The Netherlands, about the altered tradition of the Dutch Santaclaus and his companion, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet Exhibition in Paris It has been two years since Deborah Neff exhibited her unique collection of antique black dolls in Paris. Handmade from fabric and leather, flour sacks and buttons, by unknown Americans with an African background. These dolls were intended as play dolls: they can sometimes be seen in old family photos. Some are already 180 years old. Photo: press release exhibition at La Maison Rouge, Deborah Neff dolls Caricatures Manufacturers who made black dolls hardly existed at the time; if they were made, the dolls were gross caricatures. Like this doll, that has all the features of a tap dancer from the humiliating Minstrel shows. Photo: Detail undated wooden caricature Doll maker Leo Moss An exception to that rule is doll maker Leo Moss. In the early 1900s he made unique portrait dolls, all modeled after an existing child, the name of which has sometimes been preserved.

    Fifty Years After She First Hit Toy Shops, 'Sindy' Doll Seeks

    Strictly embargoed until 00.01hrs on Monday 2 July 2012 FIFTY YEARS AFTER SHE FIRST HIT TOY SHOPS, ‘SINDY’ DOLL SEEKS A LONG TERM PARTNER Global brand owners expected to show interest in iconic British doll Exeter, 2 July 2012 – After nearly 50 years, the British owner of the Sindy doll brand is looking for a long-term partner to help develop the core range of dolls. For generations of young girls Sindy has been a friend, confidante and cherished toy. The Sindy doll was launched in 1963, and for decades dominated the fashion doll market in Britain. Sindy has repeatedly been the best-selling toy, both in the UK and in overseas markets. Now, Sindy’s Exeter-based owner, Pedigree Toys, is to license or share equity in the iconic brand as part of a strategic shift towards its publishing and third party licensing businesses. Jerry Reynolds, CEO of Pedigree Group Ltd, commented: “Few brands have the emotive power and name recognition of Sindy. Millions of women in Britain grew up playing with her, and have fond memories of their days as ‘Sindy girls’. 1 “Over the years Sindy’s outfits have reflected changing fashions, and her hemlines rose and fell accordingly. But she has never lost her image as the demure girl next door – an enduring image that continues to appeal to young girls around the world. “The core of the Sindy brand remains the development and marketing of fashion dolls. As a business, Pedigree has moved away from toy manufacturing to focus on publishing and third party licensing.
  • Dolls and Waste in Italian Children's Literature

    Dolls and Waste in Italian Children's Literature

    Treasure to Trash, Trash to Treasure: Dolls and Waste in Italian Children’s Literature Cristina Mazzoni A growing preoccupation with waste, trash, and obsolescence may be observed in Western societies beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first. This phenomenon is largely due to the rapid and intense development of industrialization and consumer culture—the very movement that eventually prompted the birth, in late nineteenth-century Italy, of the industrial production of dolls.1 A reflection of this historical and societal correlation between dolls and trash, confirmed by connections that are also psychological and philosophical, may be read in several literary texts for children written by Italian women between the late nineteenth and the late twentieth centuries. In each of these narratives, the young protagonists own dolls that, though often on the verge of being dumped into the trash bin, play a crucial role in the formation of the protagonist’s identity—a process represented as shaped by both psychological and material forces. The connection made by women between dolls and trash in Italian children’s literature may be read as a culturally specific instance of the wider-ranging reflection on the role of trash in the formation of value, and even of the self.2 Certainly, psychological models of child development have much to teach us about the role dolls play in the formation of young people’s identity.3 While keeping these models in mind, my reading of dolls in Italian children’s litera- ture, however, relies more overtly on philosophical and social reflections on trash, such as those by Italo Calvino, Gay Hawkins, Greg Kennedy, and John Scanlan.

We were presented with this dilemma after One2believe, an evangelical toy company, sent us a selection from its new range of biblical dolls. According to the company’s own press material, its goal is to challenge the dominance of secular toys. With nothing more than double-joints and removable sandals, One2believe wants to rescue the young from the horrors of their toy box. Away with smutty Bratz and slutty Barbie and welcome to modest Mary. The company knows it is up against a ferocious marketing machine. To illustrate the point, the official website has a Thunderbirds-like video of the Samson and Goliath dolls hurling themselves at each other, gladiator style. The website urges shoppers to “join the battle” by downloading posters and handing them out at church. In real life, the tiny company has already experienced its Goliath moment. As of this week Amazon and the retailing giant Wal- Mart have sold out of all their talking Jesus dolls. But, I wondered, is getting the dolls under the Christmas tree only half the struggle? Will children whose aesthetic sense begins and ends with the size of plastic lips be swayed by more wholesome fare? Will they eschew bubble-gum pink polyester for tasteful sackcloth? My three older children, Helena, Theo and Halcyon, aged 5, 3, and 2 respectively, have never been short of dolls.

Dissertation, Walden University EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$6.60 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Adult Education; *Course Content; Course Descriptions; *Doctoral Theses; Teacher Developed Materials; *Teaching Techniques IDENTIFIERS *Doll Collecting ABSTRACT The author has attempted to organize the many materials to be found on doll collecting into a course which will provide a foundation of know]edge for appreciating and evaluating old dolls. The course has been divided into sessions in which old dolls will be studied by type (images, idols, and early playthings; child, doll, and social realities; wooden dolls; wax dolls; papier mache and composition; china and parian; bisque dolls, cloth dolls; celluloid, metal, leather, and rubber dolls; and doll art in America) in basically the same chronological order in which they achieved popularity in the marketplace (1800-1925). The instructor is urged to employ a variety of teaching strategies in the presentation of the material. A mixture of lecture, slides, show and tell, and much student participation is encouraged. Handouts are provided whichcan be given to students at the end of each session. Brief annotated bibliographies appear at the end of each chapter,as well as a selected bibliography at the end of the course. Thecourse has been designed to introduce the beginning doll collector to the techniques employed in the manufacture of old dolls, to help the novice identify a doll of excellent artistic merit, and to acquaint the collector with some of the better known names in doll making.

    Anais do VII Seminário Fazendo Gênero 28, 29 e 30 de 2006 Sobre gênero e preconceitos: Estudos em análise crítica do discurso – ST 02 Danielle Barbosa Lins de Almeida - UFSC/UFPB Viviane M. Heberle - UFSC As Bonecas da Contemporaneidade: Representações Midiáticas da Identidade Feminina O objetivo desse artigo é propor uma reflexão acerca dos brinquedos enquanto representações semióticas de ‘atores sociais de gênero’ (Caldas Coulthard & van Leeuwen, 2002), a partir da discussão sobre os papéis que bonecas contemporâneas de moda como Barbie, Susi e The Bratz evocam, a fim de examinar como a identidade feminina vem sendo representada pela mídia de dois países distintos – Brasil e Estados Unidos – através de típicas expressões do universo infantil.
