Barbie — Gender, Identity, and Cultural Performance (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Barbie as a systems-level analysis of how modern culture shapes identity through performance, recognition, and symbolic power.

By focusing on structures rather than individuals, the episode reveals how feminism and masculinity are often absorbed into consumer culture in ways that feel liberating while remaining politically contained.
