Beskrivning
This edited collection invites fresh readings of play and storytelling in the Barbie movie (2023) through the lens of the Bible and theology. For Christopher B. Hays, Meghan R. Henning, and their contributors, the Barbie movie is more than pink and mojo dojo casa houses; they argue that the film offers a nuanced reflection of Biblical and theological ideas. The chapters herein analyze the cultural impact of Barbie on its own terms, critically engaging its explicit attempts to offer social critiques of capitalism, patriarchy, ableism, and racism. From exploring Ruth Handler as God, Barbie as both Jesus and a jezebel, and historical Judean “doll-like” figurines, this volume’s interdisciplinary interlocutors identify how Barbie depicts the stories we tell about ourselves, society, and God.

Recensioner i media

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is a goldmine for theological and religious reflection, and the essays edited by Hays and Henning illustrate the wondrous depths of this cinematic resource. These essays embrace “serious play” by constructing a diverse range of fruitful and mutually illuminating dialogues between Barbie and the Bible. These interdisciplinary conversations help us rethink and reinterpret Barbie and biblical texts. This volume is a treasure for those interested in the interplay of Bible and Film, Gender, Material Culture, and Pop Culture. This book is more than Kenough!
