Bringing a lively and accessible style to a complex subject,
"Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the idea of the "posthuman" and
the ways in which it is represented in popular culture. Toffoletti
explores images of the posthuman body from goth-rocker Marilyn
Manson's digitally manipulated self-portraits to the famous TDK
"baby" adverts, and from the work of artist Patricia Piccinini to
the curiously "plastic" form of the ubiquitous Barbie doll,
controversially rescued here from her negative image. Drawing on
the work of thinkers including Baudrillard, Donna Haraway and Rosi
Braidotti, "Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the nature of the
human - and its ambiguous gender - in an age of biotechnologies and
digital worlds.
