Dolls are the focus of this pioneering anthology establishing Dolls
Studies as an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry. This
work revises conventional understandings of what constitutes a
doll; broadens the age range to include female adolescents, women
and others; locates dolls in untraditional contexts; and utilizes
new methodological practices and theoretical frameworks. Placing
dolls at the center of analysis reveals how critical girls' toys
are in the making - and undoing - of racial, ethnic, national,
religious, sexual, class, and gender ideologies and identities.
Catharine Driscoll, Robin Bernstein, Elizabeth Chin are among the
dozen scholars who interrogate doll products, producers, players,
and youthful performers (like Nicki Minaj). Covering eight
countries and crossing three centuries, this volume reveals the
potential of dolls - and girls at play - to construct and disrupt,
mediate and contest, perform and rescript girlhoods.
