Publisher's Synopsis

 #Barbie and Social Media delves into Barbie's transformation from doll to global cultural icon-one that is deeply embedded in contemporary social media discourse. It explores how digital platforms have given rise to a dynamic, participatory culture that both celebrates and critiques doll and brand. From Mattel's strategic branding of Barbie as a symbol of diversity and empowerment, to individuals' use of social media to reimagine Barbie's identity and significance, #Barbie and Social Media offers a comprehensive examination of Barbie in the digital age.
