Why celebrity studies needs social theory (and vice versa)

Pages 385-388 | Received 05 Dec 2014, Accepted 06 Feb 2015, Published online: 06 Jul 2015
 

Notes

1. This essay draws on my keynote address to the Celebrity Studies conference held at Royal Holloway University of London in June 2014 and on Couldry (Citationforthcoming). In one respect (the question of belief), it addresses a problem raised by those pieces.

2. Thanks to my LSE colleague Olivier Driessens for emphasising this to me.
