Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project ushered in the era of truly world-changing technosciences and catapulted the U.S. into a position of global leadership. Barbie was the first mass-produced doll that invited girls to imagine adult roles for themselves outside of motherhood, emerging in tandem with the beginning of the sexual revolution, the revival of feminism, and the start of modern conversations about sex and gender. These are two the key ways we define ourselves as Americans! It doesn\u2019t matter if you know the details of Oppenheimer\u2019s specific role in the creation of nuclear weapons, or if you ever actually played with Barbie and her pals. Everyone knows that \u201cOppenheimer\u201d is shorthand for our complex feelings about the promises and perils of modern technologies that both sustain and threaten to end civilization as we know it, and everyone knows that \u201cBarbie\u201d is shorthand for our complex feelings about new social and sex roles that somehow both radically depart from \u2014 and yet also still echo \u003Cspan\u003E\u2014 \u003C\/span\u003Emore conservative ones from earlier eras.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYoshinaga\u003C\/strong\u003E: In the financial context of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes as well as most of those other franchise films not meeting with summer box-office expectations, I think some industry watchers are hailing Barbenheimer\u2019s killer opening weekend as a sign of hope for the entertainment industry. \u003Cem\u003EBarbie\u003C\/em\u003E has enjoyed the largest open for a female-director-led movie in history, and Oppenheimer drew a respectable box office take as well.

By making the screen story postmodern and feminist, she\u2019s now viewed as having successfully \u201ccracked\u201d Barbie, a complex and potentially sexist\/problematic IP that other skilled female comedy writers, including Diablo Cody and Amy Schumer, had not been able to pitch effectively.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYaszek\u003C\/strong\u003E: First and foremost, we should all see the Barbie movie now because it promises a bit of hope and fun in a moment when our news cycle has become an endless loop of doom and gloom clickbait headlines. Having said that, I also think we can double or even triple our pleasure by having some serious fun with the \u003Cem\u003EBarbie\u003C\/em\u003E film. The history of Barbie is one of changing ideas about sex and gender. The doll debuted in 1959, just as the feminist revival was taking off and women were beginning to challenge simple gender binaries that suggested men were naturally suited to paid labor in the rough and tumble world of the public sphere while women were naturally suited to unpaid nurturing and caretaking in the home. With her many different careers and a Dream Home that originally was all dressing room and no kitchen, Barbie seemed to capture the excitement and possibility of the early Women\u2019s Liberation Movement. In a toy market flooded with baby dolls that demanded their owners act like little mothers, Barbie offered kids whole new imaginative play possibilities and, of course, whole new ways to think about sex and gender beyond the simple, pseudo-Darwinian binaries popular for much of American history. So I think it\u2019s no surprise that while Barbie is always popular, she\u2019s having a real moment right now, as we once again grapple with expanding sex and gender ideals.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/bK6ldnjE3Y0\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy should the Georgia Tech community, especially, see \u003Cem\u003EOppenheimer\u003C\/em\u003E? \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYaszek\u003C\/strong\u003E: I think members of the Georgia Tech community can use Oppenheimer\u2019s life story as a kind of test case for thinking through technoscientific and ethical dilemmas they might encounter in their own lives. Oppenheimer\u2019s role in the Manhattan Project was to supervise the translation of abstract concepts from theoretical physics into practical applications \u2014 in this case, the creation of a working nuclear bomb. Along the way, he had to negotiate some serious moral and ethical issues, including his own excitement at seeing the work progress and misgivings about what would happen if these weapons were really used. While most of our graduates are unlikely to be in that exact position, our students often do go on to work at the intersection between pure science and applied technology and as such, may well grapple with ethical questions and unseen social impacts in relation to their work. It\u2019s always instructive to see and hear stories that engage the issues we face in our own lives; they are virtual laboratories for testing certain courses of action before we act on them in the real world. And they give us ways to keep asking and exploring important questions about the impact of our actions on the world, long after the story itself is over.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYoshinaga\u003C\/strong\u003E: One of my colleagues who teaches at a private aeronautical university \u2014 a Florida science-and-tech school with much less race and gender diversity in its student population than Georgia Tech \u2014 taught a section of her science-fiction studies course about the Manhattan Project.

So it was my uncle who finally got me a classic Barbie, but by that time, I was in my late elementary-school era and didn\u2019t know what to do with it. I was reading a lot of Marvel comics by then, so I would put Barbie into action-sequence fights with my little brother\u2019s GI Joe. When it comes to the postwar era, I\u2019m too young to remember the nuclear-attack drills and propaganda of the 1950s and \u201860s. Still, all the sci-fi dystopias I saw in the movie theaters involved a nuclear apocalypse as the start of the end of the world. So I always believed a mushroom cloud was just around the corner.

But all I wanted was the Barbie doll with the diamond jewelry and the pink satin jumpsuit! I felt that way in part because I was and still am a big fan of shine and sparkle, but also in part because Stephie\u2019s clothes only seemed appropriate for one role, that of a crafty country mom, while I could imagine Barbie\u2019s clothes taking her anywhere \u2014 from paid work as anything from a teacher to astronaut to working on her car in Barbie\u2019s Dream Garage to dinner and dancing, depending on her hairstyle and accessories.
