With the Japan mission to the Moon just beginning and with the space race to its south polar region, we are reminded of the wonder and excitement of travelling to the Moon. Of course, since the 20th century, humans have been able to physically travel there, but imagining travel to the Moon has been part of our history from long before the 1900s. Looking back through the centuries reveals exciting stories of lunar adventure.

1. An English poem: The Man in the Moon

    • The English poem, The Man in the Moon, tells the story of a man who is living and suffering on the Moon.
    • There are many versions of this folktale, including in English, German and Dutch traditions.
    • In this English version of the story, the man on the Moon (known as Hubert) is imagined as a medieval peasant guilty of stealing thorns to make a hedge.

2. An Italian epic poem: Orlando Furioso

    • Orlando Furioso (The Frenzy of Orlando) is an Italian epic written by poet Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533).
    • Charlemagne (who died in 814) was a king and emperor who is known for uniting most of Europe under his rule.
    • One of his knights is Astolfo, cousin to the knight Orlando.

3. A Japanese story: The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

Life in plastic, it's fantastic? How Barbie reimagines a childhood icon through a feminist lens

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 24, 2023

Barbie is a fabulous spectacle, offering nostalgic delights to audiences, reflexive nods for film buffs and turning a feminist lens on the world’s most famous doll.

Key Points: 
  • Barbie is a fabulous spectacle, offering nostalgic delights to audiences, reflexive nods for film buffs and turning a feminist lens on the world’s most famous doll.
  • Most excitingly, Barbie is an intersectional and liberal feminist comedy, sitting alongside mainstream successes Legally Blonde (2001) and Mean Girls (2004).

Liberal feminism

    • In contrast to radical feminism, which throws out existing systems to start afresh, liberal feminism works to effect change within systems.
    • Liberal feminists work towards gender equality through raising awareness and political action.
    • This is an industry where powerful roles are still dominated by men, and women’s and LGBTQI+ voices are often sidelined.

Strong female characters

    • Gerwig’s films have often explored how strong female characters overcome challenges on their journey to adulthood.
    • In Little Women (2019), Gerwig gives her characters greater agency than previous adaptations.
    • Jo negotiates a strong book contract, while also accepting editorial direction to choose a marketable ending of marriage – or death – for her female protagonist.

Facing the real world

    • The diverse Barbies believe they have empowered women everywhere through choice (a goal Barbie creator Ruth Handler espoused).
    • Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon) advises dark thoughts have opened a portal to her owner and offers a Matrix-style choice between a pretty heel (Barbieland) and a brown Birkenstock (the Real World).
    • In the Real World (Los Angeles), Barbie and Ken experience confronting ideas.
    • Witnessing male dominance in the Real World, Ken introduces patriarchy to Barbieland, creating a bro-topia where Barbies are subservient to Kens.

Doing the imagining

    • Feminist film theory critiques the male gaze, which renders women in film as objects to be gazed upon for the pleasure of male viewers.
    • Robbie’s Barbie works to escape the role of object, both literally and through the cinematography.
    • Supported by Ruth’s ghost, Barbie expresses the desire to be not “just the idea”, but the one “doing the imagining”.
    • Much like Gerwig and Robbie, Barbie opts for the role of active changemaker, working to shift the system from within.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone who has ever raised a puppy knows that they like to swallow things. Sometimes strange things. So, when Marie Fournier went to retrieve her Fitbit from its charging cord in her bedroom and found it missing, it didn't take long for her to suspect a suspect.
