“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” –Dr. Seuss
Synopsis
The contributors to |Celebrities and Publics in the Internet Era| ask how new digital media platforms such as search engines, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have qualitatively changed celebrity culture. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the luxury selfies of micro-celebrities like Kane Lim to performance artist Marina Abramovic s collaborations with Jay-Z and Lady Gaga, from the karaoke standard in shows like American Idol to Syrian singer Assala s media battle with the Assad regime, from the |emotion economy| of reality TV to the influence of network entrepreneurs like Tim O Reilly, the essays in this special issue identify core structural features that contribute to the development of a new theory of celebrity.|
