Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In this new book, Mark Wheeler offers the first in-depth analysis of the history, nature and global reach of celebrity politics today.
Celebrity politicians and politicized celebrities have had a profound impact upon the practice of politics and the way in which it is now communicated. New forms of political participation have emerged as a result and the political classes have increasingly absorbed the values of celebrity into their own PR strategies. Celebrity activists, endorsers, humanitarians and diplomats also play a part in reconfiguring politics for a more fragmented and image-conscious public arena.
In academic circles, celebrity may be viewed as a âmanufactured productâ; one fabricated by media exposure so that celebrity activists are no more than âbards of the powerful.â Mark Wheeler, however, provides a more nuanced critique contending that both celebrity politicians and politicized stars should be defined by their âaffective capacityâ to operate within the public sphere. This timely book will be a valuable resource for students of media and communication studies and political science as well as general readers keen to understand the nature and reach of contemporary celebrity culture.
