Anzaldia claims that borders are meant to separate the safe from the unsafe and ‘us – non-whites’ from ‘them - whites’. However, she argues that borderland – area near a border – is not as fixed as borders. Silko also states that: “…. borders haven’t worked, and they won’t work, not now, as indigenous people of the Americas reassert their kinship and solidarity with one another.…

    The initial place this framework surfaces is in the introductory lines. The narrator depicts each girl’s Barbie doll and elegant outfit, which accentuates her thin figure and assets. However, Cisneros plays on the child’s innocence, and shows an indirect comparison between the girl and Barbie through the girl’s interpretation of her Barbie’s looks. In Trinna Frever’s article, she declares, “Cisneros presents the negative gender influence of the dolls through the appearance of swimsuits worn with ‘stilettos’ and the doll’s confinement within a ‘wire stand’” (127). This connects to the sentence in the story where the narrator is describing the dolls, “Red swimsuit, stilettos, pearl earrings, and a wire stand” (558).…

    The narrator is so captivated by Barbie that she pays special attention to every detail about each doll outfit, “Mine, ‘solo in the Spotlight,’ evening elegance in black glitter strapless gown with a puffy skirt at the bottom like a mermaid tail, formal-length gloves, pink-chiffon scarf, and mike included,” (Cisneros 1). In her own mind, Barbie is the narrator’s vision of a perfect girl: one who has a petite figure, expensive clothes, lots of friends and is always the center of attention. Coming from a middle class family, Barbie’s lifestyle is not realistic for the narrator, so she immerses herself into studying each aspect of her beloved doll’s clothes because she fully appreciates what Barbie means to her and uses the doll as a distraction from her own insecurities. Furthermore, Barbie symbolizes how the narrator has an increased sense of self-worth when talking about her because she is insecure about her own appearance and does not believe she is as beautiful as Barbie is. In addition to being insecure about her appearance, the narrator is insecure about how society perceives her, “The other, ‘Sweet Dreams,’ dreamy pink-and-white plaid nightgown and matching robe, lace-trimmed slippers, hairbrush and hand-mirror included.…

    In "Barbie Girls vs. Sea Monsters," Michael Messner discusses a "magnified moment" of everyday gender role socialization. Gender role socialization is "the subtle, pervasive process of becoming masculine or feminine" (Ferris and Stein 248) Children are socialized into gender roles through families, schools, peers, and the media, as well as other social institutions. Messner observes how a group of four- and five-year-old children construct gender as they begin their first season in an organized soccer league. Before the opening ceremony of the soccer league, the Barbie Girls began performing gendered behavior as they rallied around their team 's Barbie float and began singing a Barbie song.…

    Within the field of Social Psychology, the most agreed upon age at which children form and begin to follow cultural stereotypes is age five (Psychology Today). Mattel Inc., the company that owns Barbie, starts marketing their dolls to children ages three and up. As more than a doll, as a role model and a representation of the ideal woman, Barbie’s form, perceived values, and lack of authenticity create a complicated paradox between celebrating diversity, perpetuating colonialism, and sexualizing the “primitive”. Barbie’s form and non-white females in United States capitalist society are both treated as silent, unimportant, demeaningly sexualized objects in the eyes of the patriarchy. Bell Hooks, in her 1992 essay “Eating the Other: Desire…

    Barbie Doll In the poem “Barbie Doll” written by Marge Piercy, the author addresses the stereotypical ideas of what society believes a woman should look like and how a woman should act. The title lends itself to help reinforce these themes of appearance and femininity by implying that women are to fashion themselves around the famous 1959 Mattel doll, Barbie, whose appearance some argue provides an unrealistic expectation for women to strive to achieve. Piercy goes on to show what happens to the unnamed main character of the poem, when faced with the challenge of conforming to these social norms of beauty and femininity.…
