To sort out who's who and what's what in the world of Barbies and Ninja Turtles, Tinkertoys and teddy bears, is to begin to see what has become of childhood in America. It is this changing world, and what it unveils about Americans values, that Gary Cross explores in this book, a look into the meaning of American toys through this century. Early in the 1900s toys reflected parents ideas about children and their futures. Erector sets introduced boys to a realm of business and technology, while baby dolls anticipated motherhood and building blocks honed the fine motor skills of the youngest children. The book chronicles the transformation that occurred as the interests and intentions of parents, children, and the toy industry gradually diverged starting in the 1930s when toymakers, inspired by popular favorites like Shirley Temple and Buck Rogers, began to appeal directly to the young. TV advertising, blockbuster films like "Star Wars", and Saturday morning cartoons exploited their youthful audience. Meanwhile, social and economic forces were transforming the nature of play in American society. Cross offers an account of a culture in which erector sets and baby dolls are no longer alone in preparing children for the future, and in which the toys that now crowd the racks are as perplexing for parents as they are beguiling for little boys and girls. Whether we want our children to be high achievers in a competitive world or playful and free from the worries of adult life, the toy store confronts us with many choices. What does the endless array of action figures and fashion dolls mean? Are children or parents the dupes of the film, television, and toy industries, with their latest fads and fantasies? What does this say about our time, and what does it bode for our future? Tapping a vein of cultural history, the book exposes the serious business behind a century of playthings.

一 动机不纯的“玩” 玩具是玩的工具,谈玩具不妨先谈玩。玩具是小玩意,玩在通常的观念里则近于小打小闹,但小打小闹并不单纯。 普遍贫困的年代,幼儿没多少时间照看,给一个能发响声的玩意或者随便什么,任其自娱自乐,只要别吵闹就好,与其说是幼儿在玩,不如说是...

看看这本书,从头到尾基本都是叙述,没有啥大道理,即使有也多是引用,可是我看完,其实不需要看完,很多内容都能让自己引起共鸣,能让人会心一笑,讲出了事实,足够了。 如果这书变成我们论文的一部分,可以想象会被我当年的导师批评成啥样子,呵呵。自己大学论文其实也是走这...
