Retrieved on: 
Friday, July 21, 2023

Introduced in 1961 by Mattel, the Ken doll was the epitome of the all-American boy next door.

Key Points: 
  • Introduced in 1961 by Mattel, the Ken doll was the epitome of the all-American boy next door.
  • Clean cut, athletic and with a sharp haircut, he was the perfect counterpart to his more famous girlfriend, Barbie.
  • However, this does not mean that traditional patriarchal relationship dynamics are always faithfully replicated when children play with Ken and Barbie.
  • Outshined and out-glammed by Barbie, denied any rugged substance, Ken appears little more than an emasculated bit player.

Ken’s fashion history

    • Yet, just as with Barbie, Ken reflects the real world in his changing clothes, accessories and abilities, becoming a marker of American fashion and cultural history.
    • The preoccupation with coolness and counterculture of the 1970s shines through with his superstar and surfer looks.
    • And in his retro and Baywatch styling, the preoccupation with nostalgia, television and film in the 1990s could be seen.

Ken in the Barbie movie

    • What then to make then of Ryan Gosling’s newest incarnation of Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie?
    • Coupled with his ability to sing and dance evidenced in La La Land (2016), Gosling brings complexity to his reading of Ken, giving him depth and pathos.
    • Read more:
      Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is a 'feminist bimbo' classic – and no, that's not an oxymoron

      Singing I’m Just Ken, Gosling mirrors the recent crisis in masculinity in the west.

    • So, from college sweetheart, to Barbie’s ex boyfriend, to a poster boy for troubled masculinity, what next for Ken?

Snailfish: the 'impossible' fish that broke two deep sea records shows the importance of ocean exploration

In fact scientists believed it was physiologically impossible for fish to survive conditions below 8,200 metres.

Key Points: 
  • In fact scientists believed it was physiologically impossible for fish to survive conditions below 8,200 metres.
  • Until recently, when Australian and Japanese researchers found one at a record-shattering 8,336 metres in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, south of Japan.
  • The deep ocean has yet again shown us there is still much to be discovered if we only have the willingness to look.
  • But when we do explore the deep ocean, we are often rewarded with new discoveries.

Why deep ocean discoveries matter

    • So any new information about these unique ecosystems and their inhabitants has implications for humanity as well as extraterrestrial life.
    • In 2012, scientists discovered new species of crabs in the Southern Ocean, the hairy-chested Hoff crabs.
    • Apart from the excitement and wonder that comes with it, these discoveries provide new information that benefits society.
    • The potential of bioprospecting – studying wildlife and plantlife for valuable new resources – has barely been explored in the case of deep ocean.

Where do we go next?

    • Very little of the deep ocean has been systematically explored so far due to financial and logistical constraints.
    • Remotely-operated vehicles cost from US$15,000 (£12,100) to millions of dollars, while a submarine built for deep ocean exploration can cost almost US$50 million.
    • In addition, offshore exploration requires large research vessels to be deployed for weeks at sea which involves months of planning and logistics.
