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.

The 80s were also a prime period for the wonderful Black, Hispanic and Asian versions of the Barbie family. The costuming ranges from beachwear to wedding gowns. In almost every case, the different variations of each type of doll is shown and described -- from Magic Curl to Super Star dolls, from Beach Blast to the Astronaut group, every collector will find a favourite in this smashing book which is illustrated with 450 colourful photographs.
