Assistant Professor Alaa Al-Saadie from the Department of Theater Arts at the College of Fine Arts presented her lecture titled “New Representations of Women in the Context of Gender Roles” at the Enlightening Monday Knowledge Forum in the hall of the Women’s Freedom Organization in the capital, Baghdad.
The aim of this lecture was to address the new representations of women and the icons of popular culture (Barbie, Disney, Elsa Barbie) and how they have gained immense popularity. Who is behind the creation of this phenomenon? Through this, we uncover the historical transformations that have occurred regarding Barbie and other dolls and the role they occupy in the contemporary cultural scene, attempting to search for the meanings and values imposed on women and the changes in their current images to become a replicated version of them.
