Beskrivning
This book investigates the stardom of Lady Gaga within a cultural-sociological framework. Resisting a reductionist perspective of fame as a commodity, Mathieu Deflem offers an empirical examination of the social conditions that informed Lady Gaga’s rise to fame. The book delves into topics such as the marketing of Lady Gaga; the legal issues that have dogged her career; the media; her audience; her activism; issues of sex, gender, and sexuality; and Lady Gaga’s unique artistry. By training a spotlight on this singular pop icon, Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame invites readers to consider the nature of stardom in an age of celebrity.

Recensioner i media

“It seems especially well suited for classroom use, perhaps in upper-level un-dergraduate or graduate courses in pop culture, pop music, mass media, or the sociology of celebrity. … The well-designed cover beckons, and Deflem provides advice for nonsociologists about how to navigate the book … .” (Kerry O. Ferris, American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 124 (6), May, 2019)
