The purpose of this study was to investigate young girls' doll preferences, identify types of doll play in which children engage, and explore mothers' perceptions of the influence of fashion dolls on their lives. Except for height and gender, none of the 9 girls referred to specific physical characteristics of dolls' body shapes when explaining doll preferences. Instead, aspects of dolls that could be physically manipulated were frequently mentioned and play focused on changing dolls' appearances and vicarious role playing. Their mothers differed in their perceptions of how fashion dolls had affected their lives.

Full textAbstract:
This paper looks at the doll through the uneasy relationship between "tradition" and "contemporaneity". The traditional doll, both as a concept and as an artefact, belongs to the real world. It is defined as an object, an immobile figure controlled by a child. The traditional doll has no pretensions to be alive, and thus bears little resemblance to a human being. It is simple, unobtrusive, direct, mysterious, dependent on the child that gives it life during play. It has two fundamental virtues: silence, which is at the same time its most important means of communication, and submissiveness, which is based on fellowship and which implies the leaving of space to the "other", more precisely, to the child who is in fact "the first" and whom the doll "follows". Contemporary dolls can be material and non-material. Material dolls are most commonly made of inorganic materials, while non-material dolls are made of shadows, reflections, projections of symbolic form. Both have convincing human characteristics that they achieve thanks to various programs and "mechanisms". Contemporary dolls are seductive, talkative and ready to build "parasocial" and "postbiological" relationships in the digital world. Their supreme values are entertainment, noise, surprise, saturation of the senses, few demands on the mind. They aspire to be "first", and "demand" that the child should be in "second" position. A comparative study of these two dolls through a circle of ontological questions situated within the animate-inanimate opposition contributes to a better understanding of the status of the traditional/contemporary doll, the boundaries between man/the child and the doll, and relationships between people. The triumph of contemporary dolls threatens the status and the continued existence of the traditional doll. Due to the "humanization" of dolls and the "dollization" of people, the boundaries between people and dolls have been blurred. Increased intimacy with contemporary dolls leads to changes in social patterns based on greater distance between people.

This study aims to describe the cues on dolls made of jute sack waste and patchwork as crafts. The data study techniques in this study were observation, documentation and interviews. The total population of the study was 15 dolls in the doll craftsmen. The sampling technique of this researcher was total sampling, which was taken from the total population who drew doll crafts from gunny sacks and patchwork. The results showed that there was limited variation in facial expressions in doll products. Gestures on dolls are neat and sturdy but have elastic properties so that the movements of the dolls show character in the activity. In addition to the unique shape and color produced from the patchwork, it is a center point or a great attraction to attract consumers' attention. Furthermore, in making dolls from jute sack waste and patchwork, it is unique in its creation which is used as a reference for making a doll product, which has certain characteristics, for example the results of this doll have characteristics related to human activity.

Spirit dolls are dolls that are intentionally made to be infiltrated by the spirits of people who have died. These dolls are then marketed by agents to be adopted and treated like living humans. The culture of adopting this spirit doll started in Thailand around 2014, which then spread to Indonesia. The spirit doll reminds us of the essence of every belief in the world, namely the belief in animism and dynamism. Hinduism has the concept of reviving the spirit of statues or buildings which is similar to filling the spirits of spirit dolls but essentially has a difference in the procedures and objectives. Spirit dolls are filled with the spirits of people who have died, while in Hinduism the ceremony is aimed at purifying statues and buildings to make them habitable and worthy of worshiping God. Hindus should not adopt the spirit doll because there is no study of Hindu law that legalizes the adoption, besides the purpose of this adoption is contradiction to the catur purusa artha.

Wanna have a kid, kid? Baby Think It Over will make you think twice. . . On a May evening in 1993, Richard and Mary Jurmain watched a television documentary on teenage pregnancy. The camera followed students who were given bags of flour or eggs to carry around for several days. The idea was to teach teenagers how delicate infants are and how much care they require. The implied moral: Young people should think long and hard before becoming parents. . . . Why not try to produce a realistic doll to teach teenagers about the responsibilities of parenting? . . . Jurmain produced his prototype doll. It weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces, measured 20½ inches long, and wailed like a real infant. He named the product Baby Think It Over. Baby Think It Over dolls are usually assigned to students in a high school home economics or health class for a few days. Increasingly, teachers are introducing the dolls into junior high classrooms. The doll comes in white, black, Hispanic and Asian versions, and both sexes. The Jurmains also sell a "crack baby" model that simulates the violent shaking and incessant crying of a baby born dependent on drugs because the mother used them during pregnancy. The crack baby dolls are especially difficult to soothe. Teachers say that a few students have stabbed their dolls, hurled them out of windows and ripped the electronic circuitry out in order to quiet the crying. These students flunk the assignment, of course, and are usually recommended for counseling. Rick Jurmain updated the circuitry of the doll this fall so that a digital readout can now tell a teacher how much abuse—rough shaking, say, or dropping—the doll suffered . . . Jurmain says he's found a way to make the next generation of dolls wet.

Full textAbstract:
Soothing dolls are becoming increasingly popular in a society with a lot of physical and mental stress. Many products are also combined with soothing dolls to stimulate consumers’ desire for impulse buying. However, there is no research on the relationship between consumers’ purchasing behavior, consumers’ preference for soothing dolls, and visual preference. The purpose of this study was to examine the possible factors that affect the emotional and visual preferences of soothing dolls. Two local stores’ sales lists were used to extract three different types of dolls. The 2D and 3D versions of these three dolls were used. Subjective emotional preferences were examined by the self-assessment manikin (SAM) scale, with 5-point Likert scales for valence and arousal factors. An eye tracker was used to examine visual preferences, both before and after positive/negative emotion stimulation by the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). There were 37 subjects involved, with an age range of 20–28 years. The experimental results show that the average valence/arousal scores for 2D/3D dolls were (3.80, 3.74) and (2.65, 2.68), respectively. There was no statistical difference, but both 2D and 3D pictures had high valence scores. Eye tracker analysis revealed no gaze difference in visual preference between 2D and 3D dolls. After negative emotional picture stimulation, the observation time of the left-side doll decreased from 2.307 (std 0.905) to 1.947 (std 1.038) seconds, p < 0.001; and that of the right-side picture increased from 1.898 (std 0.907) to 2.252 (std 1.046) seconds, p < 0.001. The average observation time ratio of the eye on the 3D doll was 40.6%, higher than that on the 2D doll (34.3%, p = 0.02). Soothing dolls may be beneficial for emotion relaxation. Soothing dolls always have high valence features according to the SAM evaluation’s measurement. Moreover, this study proposes a novel research model using an eye-tracker and the SAM for the SOR framework.

Doll play is critical in the formation of young black girls’ gender, race, and class identities. In this article, I use textual analysis that emphasizes how physical changes in dolls correspond to contextual shifts in society over the last seven decades, and qualitative research with ten Afro-Caribbean girls and young women in Toronto to reveal the racial and cultural meanings of dolls in young people’s everyday lives and how doll play is complicated by racist and classist representations of dolls. By exploring what doll play meant to them, I show how it helps black girls understand racial and gendered norms. Through doll play, girls reveal an understanding of their racialized identities and marginalization as they demonstrate unacknowledged skills in their ability to navigate barriers that reinforce racial inequalities and social hierarchies in girls’ material culture in a multicultural Toronto.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of toy expertise is that a cultural object comes with no “instruction manual”. The goal of the article is to reveal both potential and limitations of the cultural-historical psychology and activity theory as a conceptual framework for doll expertise and test the cultural form of pretend play as a criterion of its developmental function using the example of Barbie and Monster High dolls. The article proves the necessity of cultural and psychological analysis of doll play to assess the developmental potential of a doll. The work demonstrates that the image of a doll determines how a child plays with it, i.e. how the doll itself plays with that child (F. Boitendijk). For the first time it also describes how the unit of analysis of pretend play - its two-step form (Challenge + Reply to Challenge) is used as a tool to examine the function of these dolls in child development. An exploratory empirical study of children’s play has shown how the images of Barbie and Monster High dolls define the way they are played with and answered negatively the following questions: does Barbie arouse premature interest in adult sexuality among preschoolers, and does playing with Monster High dolls blur the lines between good and evil.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers Israel’s national image both at home and abroad through the framework of Israeli costume dolls, looking specifically at the way that gender played a role in Israel’s national image as it travelled from domestic production to international reception. Initially, predominantly female doll makers produced three main types of Israeli dolls, but over time the religious Eastern European male doll triumphed in the pantheon of national types. Produced for retail sale to non-Hebrew speaking tourists by immigrant woman, the Eastern European religious male doll came to represent Israel abroad while the market pushed representations of the Middle Eastern Jewish woman and the native sabra child to the side-lines. This article examines the shift from the multi-ethnic collection of dolls as representative of the nation’s idea of itself to the privileging of the male Eastern European doll as representative of the normative image of Israel abroad.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the issue of the artistic status of the modern author’s doll as a synthetic art form, in the context of the “Do it yourself” movement (DIY). The phenomenon of the creative process of master of puppetry and of puppets as an artefact of a creative activity is being studied. The imagery and artistic value of a modern author’s doll, as a self-sufficient and active phenomenon of mass culture, is determined in accordance with the criteria for evaluating objects of fine art. The morphology of the author’s doll is analyzed in a historical perspective and in the circumstances of current socio-cultural formats of «sales exhibitions» – on the examples of the projects of the International Doll Salon (“Spring ball of author’s dolls”, “Autumn ball of author’s dolls”), the activities of the Puppet Gallery “Vakhtanov” by I. Myzina and the Cultural Foundation “Dolls of the world” (exhibition “The art of the doll”). The idea of customization, as an integral factor in the dynamics of modern convergent culture, in the context of the study dialogues with the concept of “One of a kind” (OOAK) characteristic of the puppeteer community. Mass production and mass demand for Barbie and Blythe dolls is considered from the position of realizing the creative potential of the followers of the maker-culture subculture. The authorship of the doll is considered as a marker of the special status of this cultural object

Abstract This article examines the boom in dolls, doll literature (storybooks and magazines), and doll play in nineteenth-century France, when dolls became important commodities as well as pedagogical tools for training girls in their future roles as mothers. However, the conservative messages about girls' behavior encoded in most of the doll literature were undermined, at least in part, by contrasting messages about consumerism, as well as the daring of dolls themselves as heroines of this literature. Doll storybooks opened up entire imaginative worlds that allowed girls to live vicariously through the escapades of their dolls and act out the scenes represented in the books. Doll magazines straddled the line between moralizing and selling, providing advice for both how to behave and where to shop. Evidence from memoirs suggests that girls both followed and departed from the scripts written for them by the dolls themselves and the literature around them. Cet article examine les poupées, les livres et les journaux des poupées en France au XIXe siècle, lorsque les poupées sont devenues des commodités importantes ainsi que des outils pédagogiques pour éduquer les jeunes filles dans leur futur rôle maternel. Pourtant, les messages conservateurs sur le comportement des filles codés dans la plupart des histoires de poupées étaient subvertis, au moins en partie, par d'autres messages sur l'importance de la consommation et par les aventures des poupées elles-mêmes, en tant qu'héroïnes de ces textes. Les histoires des poupées ouvraient des mondes imaginatifs qui permettaient aux filles de vivre par procuration les aventures de leurs poupées et de jouer les scènes représentées dans ces histoires. Les journaux des poupées occupaient une position ambiguë entre la promotion de la morale et celle du commerce. L’évidence des mémoires suggère que les filles aient suivi et aussi dévié des scénarios écrits par les poupées elles-mêmes et les textes autour d'elles.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing market for realistic sex dolls has led to heated debate about future relationships with these entities and whether they could lead to an increasing objectification of women or possibly encourage abuse. However, limited academic research has been carried out on the topic, and little is known about the motivations and experiences of those who purchase and use sex dolls. Therefore, we conducted a mixed methods study of 83 participants, accessed through online doll forums, who completed a 22-item, semi-structured questionnaire. The majority were heterosexual, white, employed, middle-aged males; just over half were not in a current relationship, and approximately half lived alone. A thematic analysis revealed a high prevalence of non-sexual, post-human companionship dynamics between dolls and their owners, as well as reservations by doll owners about future robotic developments. In light of these findings, we suggest a new term, ‘allodoll’, which more accurately reflects the broader, non-sexual relationships of these doll owners, and could broaden the scope of future research. Although sex doll forums may be biased towards certain types of doll users, our findings may allay some of the fears of the more detrimental consequences of sex doll use.

Постановка задачи. В статье рассматриваются различные критерии для выделения группировок языковых единиц и возможности отнесения конкретной группировки к тому или иному типу семантического объединения языковых единиц. Задачами проводимого исследования является описание методов и процесса выделения семантических группировок языковых единиц с учетом их различных характеристик, применения полевого метода для выделения семантического поля (СП) «Тoys for children» / «Игрушки для детей» в английском языке и определение его границ. Результаты исследования. В статье анализируются различные критерии для определения типа семантической группировки, предлагаемые отечественными и зарубежными лингвистами. Приводятся типы полевых структур и критерии их разграничения. Приводятся критерии, позволяющие отнести группировку языковых единиц, называющих детские игрушки, к семантическому полю в современном английском языке. Источниками материала исследования послужили словари и сайты британских и американских магазинов, содержащие каталоги игрушек, а также интернет-платформы по продаже детских игрушек. Количество и качество материала позволяет выделить СП «Тoys for children» / «Игрушки для детей» и определить его границы. Выводы. Группа англоязычных единиц «Тoys for children» / «Игрушки для детей» является одной из группировок, которая динамично пополняется и обновляется в результате лингвистических и экстралингвистических факторов. Лингвистическими факторами пополнения являются детализация наименований игрушек (doll/ кукла: fashion doll / кукла для одевания, paddle doll / плоская кукла, Matryoshka doll / матрешка), появление синонимов (Matryoshka doll, stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian tea dolls, Russian dolls / матрёшка), гипонимов и гиперонимов (vehicle / транспортное средство: truck / грузовик, car / автомобиль, bulldozer / бульдозер, tractor / трактор). СП «Toys for children» / «Игрушки для детей» является открытой группировкой в результате его постоянного пополнения новыми единицами (Aquabeads / аквабусины, Nerf blaster / бластер Нёрф, glowpad / планшет для рисования светящихся рисунков, Magna Doodle / магнитная доска для рисования, Neocube / Неокуб (головоломка), Orbeez / орбизы, flashlight projector / фонарик-проектор и др.) Statement of the problem. The article considers various criteria for identifying groupings of linguistic units and the possibility of attributing a particular grouping to a certain type of semantic association of linguistic units. The objectives of the research are to describe the methods and the process of identifying semantic groupings of linguistic units, taking into account their various characteristics; to use the field method for identifying and describing the semantic field (SF) “Toys for children” in the English language and to define its boundaries. Results. The types of field structures and criteria for their differentiation are given. The methods of distinguishing lexical groupings and the fundamentals of the field theory are listed. The criteria to attribute the grouping of linguistic units naming children's toys to the semantic field are given. Dictionaries and websites of British and American stores containing catalogs of toys, as well as online platforms for the sale of children's toys serve as the sources of the research material. The quantity and quality of the material makes it possible to identify the SF “Toys for children" and define its boundaries. Conclusion. The group of English-language units “Toys for children” is one of the groupings that is dynamically replenished and updated as a result of linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The linguistic factors of the grouping growth include the detailing of toy names (doll: fashion doll, paddle doll, Matryoshka doll), the appearance of synonyms (Matryoshka doll, stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian tea dolls, Russian dolls), hyponyms and hyperonyms (vehicle: truck, car, bulldozer, tractor). The SF “Toys for children" is an open grouping as a result of its constant replenishment with new units (Aquabeads, Nerf blaster, glowpad, Magna Doodle, Neocube, Orbeez, flashlight projector.).

Abstract This study of the Friendship Doll Mission of 1926-1927 shows how, in the United States, the Japanese doll was part of the inescapable image of a kimono-clad little Japanese girl, and functioned to further existing anti-Japanese implications of that image. It further shows how an American popular-culture mission to improve relations with Japan by having American children exchange dolls with Japanese children, created an official, Japanese government response that presented the United States with Japanese dolls that were objects of Fine Art. Despite the different views of the Doll Mission in Japan and the US, an interchange resulted that, now nearly a century later, continues. The article uses Japanese dolls to demonstrate how genuine cultural exchange can occur even when the methods, approaches, and the very intent of those involved in it differ, in order to highlight the importance of considering both perspectives to understand phenomena such as Japonisme.

<p>One of the most interesting and at the same time difficult questions for the researcher is to study the culture of the borderland. This is especially true for studying the areas currently disconnected, but which formed a part of a single state and have a long-term history of co-existence within it. This statement is true for the territory of Belarusian Pridvinye and Latgale, which were part of a single state for more than three hundred years. The proximity of these regions, close economic and cultural relations have caused the similarity of the material and spiritual culture of both peoples, which was reflected in traditional doll of this region.</p><p>Doll, being both a child’s toy and an object having a certain ritual purpose, is an important element of the culture of the ethnos.</p><p>The purpose of this research is to identify common and different features in the spiritual culture of Belarusians and Latgalians, based on such an important object of the culture of ethnos as the doll, and reveal some information about its existence, appearance, functions on the basis of ethnographic materials of the late 19th – early 20th century.</p><p>The relevance of this work is due to lack of proper researches on the topic outlined above.</p><p>The ethnographic data collected on the territory of the Vitebsk province and concerned to the people, who inhabited it, were used as the objects for this study. The information about the material and spiritual culture of Latgalians and Belarusians and directly about dolls of this region can be found in the works of M. Sementovskii, E. Romanov and N. Nikiforovskii, E. Voltaire. However, unfortunately, in these studies very little attention was paid to the traditional doll. Most often, this cultural object has stayed out of the range of interests of researchers in the late 19th – early 20th century. However, for example, in N. Nikiforovskii’s work there is described in details people’s attitude to the children’s games with dolls and beliefs associated with these games.</p><p>The existence of several dolls both game and ritual on the territory of Belarus Pridvinye and Latgale was revealed as a result of the study. The traditional set of Belarus and Latgale toys had been formed by the end of the 19th – early 20th century. Demarcation of sacred and utilitarian areas had led to the isolation of functions of game dolls and ritual dolls. Game dolls on these territories were simple and generalized in character. Most of these dolls were made by children themselves from rags, pieces of wool, thread, ash and so on. Their main function was to entertain the child, while adults were busy. The oldest form of such type of the doll, occurring on the territory of Vitebsk province, was a doll “holova”. More sophisticated dolls, such as the “prince”, “princess”,“soldier” and others, have been also found in this area, but the data about the person, it was made by, and what games were associated with them, is practically absent. Only once they are mentioned in Nikiforovskii’s work in connection with the description of beliefs, which were widely accepted among the peasantry, that lengthy children’s games with dolls-princeses could lead to the forthcoming marriage of a family member.</p><p>Ceremonial or ritual dolls have accompanied a man during the whole calendar year. Probably, Belarusians and Latvians, as well as Russians, have used dolls in all transitional type ceremonies: Christmas and Yuletide, on Shrove Tuesday, Easter, Midsummer, for the holidays associated with the beginning and the end of grazing, planting or harvest, for christenings, weddings and funerals. The study of ethnographic materials allowed accurately to detect the presence of only one doll-scarecrow of calendar type – scarecrow Mara, which was burnt during the Midsummer holiday. On the territory of the Russian empire and directly in Belarus this doll is no longer found in any of the regions. It is difficult to say, whether the person was accompanied with the doll during such holidays as Zazhinki and Dozhinki in Vitebsk province, or they were characteristic only of the Russian territories. Also, there is no definite information about the participation of dolls in rituals associated with the birth of a child. In the works of ethnographers there is mentioned the fact, that the doll was placed in the cradle, before the child was put there in order to “warm” the cradle. However, there is no information about what was this doll like, its appearance and function.</p><p>To summarize, we can conclude, that there was an original doll in Latgale and Belarus. Unfortunately, because of the paucity of data on this issue in the ethnographic researches of the late 19th – early 20th century, it is hard to imagine the whole system of ritual and game dolls, that existed in this region. However, there can be no doubt about the fact, that the doll was not only the subject, that had accompanied a person at his birth and during childhood, but was an essential attribute of festive culture of Latgalians and Belarusians. The common features of Belarusian and Latgalian dolls were caused by several reasons. There were the long-term staying in a single state, the area of residence of two nations, that had been closely related with Western Dvina River as one of the main trade route, the similarity of the calendar and festive culture and, of course, peaceful, friendly attitude of the two ethnic groups to each other.</p><p>All these factors had led to the formation of common cultural traditions, which were reflected in the doll of this region. The attempt to study in this paper such a phenomenon as a doll of Latgale and Belarus Pridvinye has showed the necessity for further research studies of this question in its indissoluble connection with the studying of material and spiritual culture of two nations.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Sex is a part of human life, a reflection of human conditions, and is also a process of completion as a human. Sex is also a mode of existence of men and women's mental and physical lives. It includes not only biological instincts, but also thoughts and behaviors, emotions and tendencies, and different characteristics between men and women. Since sex is a reflection of human living conditions, various social problems arise accordingly, such as adultery, prostitution, human trafficking, pornography, obscenity, sexual harassment, homosexuality, sex doll, etc., which are countless. In addition, with the development of science and technology such as artificial intelligence and sex robots have emerged, the issues and arguments for and against cyber sex and cyber masturbation have begun. These various legal and ethical issues related to sex regulate certain actions according to the social, historical, and cultural environment of each country. Some countries punish them as crimes, and others allow such actions. One of the most controversial issues in our society is a sex doll. Sex doll is a type of sex toy that mimics the shape of a person, ranging from air-injected cheap sex dolls to thousands dollar-worth of sex dolls that embody the shape of the human body and the touch of a human and are equipped with AI. In our society, the pros and cons of sex dolls and sex robots have already begun. The positive stance insists that sex dolls and sex robots are one of adult products that can help the elderly and the disabled. Meanwhile, the negative stance argues that they violate the personal rights of teenagers including children and women to ensure men's sexual right to self-determination. A complete ban on adult sex dolls is undesirable in that it might cause an infringement of an individual's sexual right to self-determination under the Constitutional Act. In principle, the import and sale of sex dolls is better to be allowed, but it is desirable to ban or limit child sex dolls because they are clearly expected to have a negative impact on our society.

ABSTRACT
In 2020, the annual seminar at Art History in Aarhus was dedicated to a category of images usually absent from art historical research: dolls and puppets. The premise of the seminar was that through their animation, dolls or puppets are a universal, albeit historical, kind of image across all visual and anthropological cultures. A doll may be defined as an interactive, animated, representational figure, tangible and usually anthropomorphic. Dolls and puppets are closely related to other three-dimensional images, such as statues, sculptures, fetishes, and idols, but they have been unduly marginalized within art history due to their lowly associations with the childish and the feminine, with play and palpable interactivity rather than disengaged aesthetic contemplation. In this playful primer in pupalogy, we approach art historiography from the animated and ludic perspective of the doll. We engage with dolls in order to learn more about their history and historiography, their forms of animation, scale, etymology, materiality, and liminal status between life and death. The article thus toys with the deepest heritage of the image: its animation, its play, and its ludic interactions.

AbstractIn addition to portraits and diplomatic reports, Renaissance courts relied on fashion dolls to acquaint themselves with foreign dress. Unfortunately, literature on this subject is scarce and often disappointing. Overlooked by doll historians, a letter written by Federico Gonzaga (1500–40) in 1515 reveals that François Ier (1494–1547) requested a fashion doll from Isabella d’Este (1474–1539). After examining this document within the context of what is currently known about Renaissance fashion dolls, this essay explores what François I er’s interest in these objects suggests about his personality and his relationship to the women of his court.

Statement of the problem. The article considers various criteria for identifying groupings of linguistic units and the possibility of attributing a particular grouping to a certain type of semantic association of linguistic units. The objectives of the research are to describe the methods and the process of identifying semantic groupings of linguistic units, taking into account their various characteristics; to use the field method for identifying and describing the semantic field (SF) “Toys for children” in the English language and to define its boundaries. Results. The types of field structures and criteria for their differentiation are given. The methods of distinguishing lexical groupings and the fundamentals of the field theory are listed. The criteria to attribute the grouping of linguistic units naming children's toys to the semantic field are given. Dictionaries and websites of British and American stores containing catalogs of toys, as well as online platforms for the sale of children's toys serve as the sources of the research material. The quantity and quality of the material makes it possible to identify the SF “Toys for children" and define its boundaries. Conclusion. The group of English-language units “Toys for children” is one of the groupings that is dynamically replenished and updated as a result of linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The linguistic factors of the grouping growth include the detailing of toy names (doll: fashion doll, paddle doll, Matryoshka doll), the appearance of synonyms (Matryoshka doll, stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian tea dolls, Russian dolls), hyponyms and hyperonyms (vehicle: truck, car, bulldozer, tractor). The SF “Toys for children" is an open grouping as a result of its constant replenishment with new units (Aquabeads, Nerf blaster, glowpad, Magna Doodle, Neocube, Orbeez, flashlight projector.).

Main topic to consider are the issues of artistic features, traditions of making knotted dolls, the potential of national-patriotic and aesthetic education among student youth by means of folk art. Emphasizing on the importance of mastering the technique of making a folk doll among future technology teachers which can be widely used later in their practical pedagogical activities both in technology classes and in extracurricular educational activities with students of primary and basic new Ukrainian schools, in particular during master classes. The main topic of discussion is the need to acquire knowledge about ethnographic research on the creation of a folk doll from various materials and regional features of shaping and decorating toy in order to conduct a high-quality and effective master class on a knotted doll, to achieve the educational, developmental goal and practical significance of such a format in technology classes.The study highlights the structure of the organization and preparation for the master class on knotted dolls in general secondary education institutions. At the preparation stage, it is necessary to select and thematically decorate the room for the master class, think over the structure of the author’s mini-lecture, prepare a multimedia presentation, select illustrative and visual material, organize an exhibition of the author’s creative works of the master class, select and prepare the necessary materials for making a doll by the participants of this master class. It is important to think over the features of the final stage of the master class (posting and reflection). The work describes in detail the technological stages of making a doll: forming the head - a knot, laying out a cross from threads, forming an anthropomorphic figure, decorating the "dressing" of the doll. The research substantiates the importance of studying the traditions of folk art in institutions of higher education by conducting master classes on knotted dolls. The artistic features of the knotted doll and conducting master classes are analyzed. The importance of the introduction of innovative technologies during master classes on knotted dolls in institutions of higher education is emphasized.

My name is Stephanie, and I am a collector. What are my favorite things to collect? That’s easy—dolls! I bought my first Barbie when I was six years old. I was given a doll from Morocco at age seven. To this day, I continue to collect both Barbies and international dolls, but my third collection now numbers eight hundred dolls. During my first year as an elementary school librarian in 1979, I began to collect dolls based on characters from children’s books.I wanted to add some zip and zing to class visits at my school library. The previous school librarian had plugged boys and girls into listening stations with worksheets each time they came to the library. I felt my students were missing out by not hearing fantastic tales from exotic places and visiting magical worlds of wonder.Bottom line, I wanted them to experience the joy found within the covers of books. That’s when the first dolls from children’s books—Corduroy, Curious George, the Cat in the Hat, and Winnie-the-Pooh—found their way into my shopping basket and my storytelling repertoire.

The wooden cheese doll moulds, a mark of the traditional Romanian shepherd's trade in the Curvature Carpathians, are moulds carved in wood, in anthropomorphic shape, used in the past to make the so-called cheese dolls. These dolls were given to girls by young shepherds who, once a year, came down from the mountains to choose their bride, at the traditional celebration of the Mocan (shepherds) communities of the Covasna area, Sântilia (Sfântul Ilie). The cheese doll moulds carved in wood bear a rich ornamentation, consisting in geometric, astral, zoomorphic, and anthropomorphic elements, which will be imprinted on the fresh cheese doll, decorating it. The National Museum of Eastern Carpathians has a rich collection of objects related to shepherding, among which seven such wooden cheese doll moulds. One of them became the logo of the Museum.

Background:Several studies have examined the therapeutic use of dolls with people with dementia. These studies have been favourable, although caveats have been noted, resulting in the publication of guidelines. Despite positive findings, an understanding of ‘why’ the approach is effective for some residents has yet to be established.Aims:The aim is to develop an understanding of why doll therapy improves the well-being of older adults with dementia, in order to direct appropriate, safe, and successful doll usage.Method:Eight participants were interviewed twice using grounded theory qualitative methodology.Results:A diagrammatic representation modelling the impact of the dolls was developed. The content of the model is illustrated via quotes from the participants.Conclusion:The model indicated that the impact of the doll is complex, being influenced by systemic processes between the doll and the resident, as well as the wider networks within the home environment. The central category emerging from this research was that the doll met residents’ individual psychological needs.

Systematic condition and analytical surveys were carried out on Zoe Leonard’s (b. 1961) Mouth Open, Teeth Showing 2000, an installation artwork in Tate’s collection consisting of 162 children’s dolls. The dolls were manufactured at various points within the 20th century and encompass several potentially problematic synthetic polymers found in modern and contemporary museum collections. To explore the doll materials and conservation condition, a multi-analytical approach was used to identify key synthetic polymer types and additives present, including portable and bench analytical techniques. Challenging degradation phenomena associated with different types of doll have been discussed and related to their material composition, which has helped our understanding of the conservation challenges inherent to this contemporary artwork.

Abstract In honouring children’s rights to expression and participation in the world around them, we asked “How do researchers use dolls to elicit young children’s perspectives?” We conducted a scoping review of the literature on doll use in early childhood research published between 2004 and 2021. Following an exhaustive search using established methods for evaluating empirical research, 28 studies were included in this review. Patterns, advances and gaps in the literature indicated the benefits of doll use, as well as guidance and future directions for researchers. Dolls offer a practical avenue for exploring perspectives across a range of topics and settings, giving voice to diverse young children whose perspectives are often overlooked.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the phenomenon of dolls in the process of transition from the traditional type of society to the postindustrial one. The authors outline that being a kind of mirror of the era, the doll phenomenon is inextricably linked with cultural norms and values, all social experience, which determined the stability and continuity of various activities. It is also noted that in the process of historical development, the image of the doll undergoes transformation, as does the image of the person himself. The inclusion by the authors the axiological characteristics of the doll phenomenon in the worldview coordinates of cosmo- and anthropocentrism makes it possible to reveal their new quality. The consideration of the doll as a phenomenon from this methodological position opens up new possibilities in understanding the existential essence of man himself. The purpose of the article is to analyze one of the most relevant aspects of the doll phenomenon in modern conditions – a qualitative change in its axiological content and significance in culture. Research methods: historical-comparative and semiotic. The result of the study is the identification of significant changes in the role of dolls in modern culture. It is emphasized that the value orientations of secular society and a desacralized, materialistic worldview result in dehumanization and objectification of the person himself with a pronounced desire to revitalize and humanize the doll. The development of anthropocentric attitudes has reached its limits, as evidenced by the shift in the semantics of dolls into the field of purely formal, external relations and meanings.

Claimed as the smallest house in Australia, the Doll's House was a tiny two-roomed dwelling from the 1870s that became the poorest house in the then poorest suburb of Melbourne (Collingwood). It has since earned heritage status being cited by the National Trust in 1985 and later registered as a historic building. The miniature proportions of this tiny worker's cottage are the reason behind its nickname. This fascination with the miniature produced houses at much smaller scales as the residences of dolls rather than people. This paper examines the difference between the dolls' houses of the "old country" of the period and those that resulted from the need to make do with the resources at hand in the new colonies. Between the 1870s and the end of the nineteenth century the former were moving from bespoke houses for the very wealthy to mass-produced toys for the middle classes. German firms like Gottschalk were exporting their dolls' houses and mass-produced furniture for these to the UK and elsewhere in imitation of the exteriors and interiors of the period. In Australia dolls' houses of this period were made from waste materials such as packing cases. Furnishings could also be handmade, perhaps to the suggestions of Mrs Beeton, who encouraged children to make their own dolls' house furniture. The paper speculates as to whether this might also have been the situation in New Zealand. Unfortunately, no homemade dolls' house dating back to 1870 has yet been located here.

By using the Slovin formula with an error rate of 10%, the number of samples obtained is 88 respondents. The results showed that the product and price partially had a positive and significant effect on the consumer purchasing decisions of the Doll World. The results showed that the product and price simultaneously had a positive and significant effect on the consumer purchasing decisions of the Doll World. The results of this study are supported by the value of R square (R2), which means that product and price have an influence on purchasing decisions. While the rest is influenced by other factors that come from outside this research model such as location, product design, price discount, service, loyalty, satisfaction, service and other variables.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the concepts of gendered, entrepreneurial identity and fetishism through an analysis of images of Barbie entrepreneur. It draws on the literature of entrepreneurial identity and fetishism to examine how such identity is socially constructed from childhood and how exposure to such dolls can shape and influence perceptions of entrepreneurial identity. Design/methodology/approach Using semiotic analysis the authors conduct a visual analysis of the Barbie to make observations and inferences on gendered entrepreneurial identity and fetishism from the dolls and artifacts. Findings The gendered images of Barbie dolls were influenced by societal perceptions of what an entrepreneur should look like, reflecting the fetishisation of entrepreneurship, especially for women. Mirroring and exaggerating gendered perceptions, the dolls express hyper-femininity reflected in both the physical embodiment of the doll and their adornments/accessories. This includes handbags, high-heeled shoes, short skirts, haute-couture and designer clothes. Such items and the dolls themselves become fetishised objects, making context and culture of vital importance. Research limitations/implications There are positive and negative implications in relation to how the authors might, as a society, present unrealistic gendered images and role models of entrepreneurship to children. The obvious limitation is that the methodology limits what can be said or understood, albeit the imagery mirrors socially constructed reality for the context examined. Originality/value This is original research in that no previous published studies have tackled gendered entrepreneurial identity in relation to fetishism. The value of the work lies in discussing the concepts and embeds them in the expanding conversation surrounding gendered entrepreneurial identities.

When presented with a claim that contradicts their intuitions, do children seize opportunities to empirically verify such claims or do they simply acquiesce to what they have been told? To answer this question, we conducted a replication of Ronfard et al. (conducted in the People’s Republic of China) in two countries with distinct religious and political histories (Study 1: Belarus, N = 74; Study 2: Turkey, N = 79). Preschool children were presented with five different-sized Russian dolls and asked to indicate the heaviest doll. All children selected the biggest doll. Half of the children then heard a (false) claim (i.e., that the smallest doll was the heaviest), contradicting their initial intuition. The remaining children heard a (true) claim (i.e., that the biggest doll was the heaviest), confirming their initial intuition. Belarusian and Turkish preschoolers typically endorsed the experimenter’s claim no matter whether it had contradicted or confirmed their initial intuition. Next, the experimenter left the room, giving children an opportunity to check the experimenter’s claim by picking up the relevant dolls. Belarusian and Turkish preschoolers rarely explored the dolls, regardless of the type of testimony they received and continued to endorse the counterintuitive testimony they received. Furthermore, in Study 2, Turkish preschoolers continued to endorse smallest = heaviest even when doing so could have cost them a large reward. In sum, across two different cultural contexts, preschool children endorsed a counterintuitive claim and did not spontaneously seek evidence to test it. These results confirm and extend those of Ronfard et al.

People are restless in the wake of the growing popularity of spirit dolls in recent years. Contemporary Islamic legal clarity is required when determining whether the spirit doll phenomenon is true or false. The purpose of this article is to respond to a study of contemporary Islamic law concerning the spirit doll phenomenon that has alarmed the public. This is a qualitative study that takes a socio-normative approach. Sadd al-żarī'ah is used as a method for tracking (istinbat) Islamic law. The study's findings revealed that people caring for spirit dolls were motivated by a lack of faith and knowledge, dynamism and animism, as well as hedonism. According to Islamic law's teachings, the spirit doll phenomenon is forbidden and must be abandoned. Ulama gathered in South Sulawesi Province's Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and agreed to prohibit this phenomenon. The implication is that the spirit doll is manifested in every person whose physical body has a shadow or is physically shaped like a human or animal statue. It is, however, prohibited or permitted for girls' toys only. It is hoped that Muslims will avoid practices that could jeopardize religious values by abstaining from the use of spirit puppets.

Clay Dolls, which means a doll made of earth, was excavated from the Silla area, mainly in Gyeongju. Accordingly, research on clay figurines in Silla has been carried out actively and it would not be too much to say that it was mostly Silla’s clay figurines which have been mostly studied so far. The study of clay figurines of Gaya has been relatively slow, probably due to the fact that the cases of excavations are very limited. Recently, various types of clay figurines have been excavated from the presumed royal palace site of Geumgwan Gaya under the excavation and investigation by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. Earlier in Gimhae, a variety of clay figurines, including character clay figurines, were excavated in an excavation to create a site for a hanok living experience center. Based on these new data, this paper tries to infer the different characters, roles and significance of clay figurines in Gaya society, by studying various kinds of clay figurines excavated from Geumgwan Gaya territory. Bonghwang-dong, which is believed to be the center of Geumgwan Gaya, is a complex of relics including living facilities, hospitality facilities, trading facilities, workshop sites and earthen fortresses. Various clay figurines were excavated at the main sites of Bonghwang-dong s historical site, from which that the people of Gaya used clay dolls to perform ceremonial acts there can be inferred. In Bonghwang-dong sites other than the presumed royal palace ruins, horse shaped clay dolls and the clay dolls resemble utensils used in rituals are usually found. human figured clay dolls, animal figured clay dolls, house figured clay dolls have been excavated around the presumed royal palace ruins within Bonghwang-dong site which differentiates this region from the rest of the site. Along with the presumed royal palace ruins, there is a tendency of various clay figurines being found in the other ruin in the hanok living experience center with multiple purpose relics. In conclusion, there is a possibility that clay dolls had been used to wish for the well-being of the family members by the ruling group, or the well-being of the community at importance areas like the presumed royal palace ruins and the hanok living experience center ruins. This kind of tendency is found in many ruins around the Ancient Gimhae Bay(Gogimhae-Man), which leads to an assertion that various rituals and ceremonial acts had been carried out using clay dolls throughout that area.

Full textAbstract:
Background Although sex toys representing human body parts are widely accepted and normalized, human-like full-body sex dolls and sex robots have elicited highly controversial debates. Objective This systematic scoping review of the academic literature on sex dolls and sex robots, the first of its kind, aimed to examine the extent and type of existing academic knowledge and to identify research gaps against this backdrop. Methods A comprehensive multidisciplinary, multidatabase search strategy was used. All steps of literature search and selection, data charting, and synthesis followed the leading methodological guideline, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. A total of 29 (17 peer reviewed) and 98 publications (32 peer reviewed) for sex dolls and sex robots, respectively, from 1993 to 2019 were included. Results According to the topics and methodologies, the sex doll and sex robot publications were divided into 5 and 6 groups, respectively. The majority of publications were theoretical papers. Thus far, no observational or experimental research exists that uses actual sex dolls or sex robots as stimulus material. Conclusions There is a need to improve the theoretical elaboration and the scope and depth of empirical research examining the sexual uses of human-like full-body material artifacts, particularly concerning not only risks but also opportunities for sexual and social well-being.

Full textAbstract:
There was an air of excitement and anticipation in the grade 5/6 class as the students consulted with one another and put the final touches on their percent measurement dolls. The doll-making unit, a favorite with the students, was a culminating activity in an ongoing research project for learning rational number and proportion. The students, who attend a laboratory school associated with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and their teacher, Beverly Caswell, had just spent the last five mathematics classes working on the measurement, design, and building of these dolls. They had been invited to present their creations to a group of preservice teachers and to explain the mathematics that had been involved.

Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal 21, no. 1 (January 1, 1993): 7–15. http://dx.doi.org/10.2224/sbp.1993.21.1.7.
Full textAbstract:
Using Hatta's Doll Location Test, family structures of juvenile delinquents and non-delinquents were examined. Subjects were asked to present their actual and ideal family structures by means of pinning miniature dolls, representing family members and other people. Although ideal dyadic relations among family members as envisaged by both groups were similar, a discrepancy between actual and ideal family situations was revealed in the presentations of the juvenile delinquents. The dyadic distance between self and parent of the juvenile delinquents in actual life situation was greater than that of non-delinquents. The directions that the dolls representing family members were facing also showed a discrepancy between ideal and real life situations in juvenile delinquents, whereas no discrepancy was perceived in the non-delinquents' group.

Full textAbstract:
The author identifies as a mixed-race Chicana teacher/educator, bridging ecology, culture, and learning situated within an early learning center on a university campus. This inquiry integrates Gloria Anzaldúa’s autohistoria teoría/autobiographical theory and documents (1) the social construction of a gender-fluid persona doll named “Logan” during a focus group with REMIDA Reggio-inspired educators, (2) a (dis)rupture that took place after engaging the persona doll to introduce the term “transgender” during a preschool circle time, and (3) lessons learned to move early childhood education for social sustainability forward. During this disrupture in our learning community, the question of whether or not to discard Logan’s (gender non-binary) identity emerged. Logan’s story is one of curricular innovation in the examination of topics and concepts of ecological sustainability, equity-based pedagogy, and creative reuse through the construction and use of persona dolls. The dolls themselves are created from reuse materials, and they adopt personas and social backgrounds reflecting awareness of ecological and social injustice while co-developing ideas of actions for equity with the input of children.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers doll games not as an exercise for reproductive heterosexuality but as a laboratory of queer sexuality. My main source is the literary hypertext The Doll Games by Shelley and Pamela Jackson. In this work, the unsexed doll body is described as the ‘sexless baton’ at the core of sex and penises are compared to dolls played with in the doll games of sex. The term dolldonics indicates a Deleuzian understanding of such objects used to prosthetically extend bodies and make desiring connections. They are not to be understood as fetishes in the psychoanalytic sense, inevitably pointing back to the phallus. There is a tradition of surrealist artists such as Hans Bellmer taking an interest in the recombinant possibilities of doll bodies. However, in the work of male artists, the queer potential of such polymorphous prosthetics has often been restricted by an erotisation of the doll as stand-in for the little girl, with whom it is so closely associated. In doll work by female artists with experience of being girls and playing with dolls, such erotisation of the girl-as-doll and doll-as-girl is less likely to occur, or at least occurs in different and more complex ways. The erotisation of doll bodies is based less on it standing in for the forbidden sexual object of the little girl, and more of the tactility of holding, manipulating, dismembering, dressing and undressing them. In doll games, the conventional distinction between desire and identification is undone, which confuses categorisations such as gender and sexual identity, and further subject/object, animate/inanimate and human/nonhuman.
