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.
