In a world made of images (Thoman, 1999), pedagogy has often devoted its attention to media education (Centrone et al., 2023; Rivoltella, 2019) and to the analysis of the relationship between the messages conveyed by main- stream media products enjoyed by children and adults, and the dominant values within a cultural-historical context (Bocci et al., 2022). This paper will intersectionally analyze the film “Barbie” (Greta Gerwig, 2023) from a pedagogical perspective, using the lens of Disability Studies, Gender studies, and Feminist studies to analyze the themes addressed by the blockbuster film. Lastly, the paper will report on the results of an exploratory survey conducted with teachers from several primary and secondary schools in Italy who were asked to express opinions about the film and to reflect on the possible use of the film to address certain issues with their students.

摘要

In a world made of images (Thoman, 1999), pedagogy has often devoted its attention to media education (Centrone et al., 2023; Rivoltella, 2019) and to the analysis of the relationship between the messages conveyed by main- stream media products enjoyed by children and adults, and the dominant values within a cultural-historical context (Bocci et al., 2022). This paper will intersectionally analyze the film “Barbie” (Greta Gerwig, 2023) from a pedagogical perspective, using the lens of Disability Studies, Gender studies, and Feminist studies to analyze the themes addressed by the blockbuster film. Lastly, the paper will report on the results of an exploratory survey conducted with teachers from several primary and secondary schools in Italy who were asked to express opinions about the film and to reflect on the possible use of the film to address certain issues with their students.
