Jade Alexander and Katarzyna Bronk, together with the authors whose chapters make up this inter-disciplinary discussion, not only utilise the existing research on celebrity and fandom, but they also go beyond the often-quoted theorists to engage in multidirectional analyses of what it means to be a celebrity, and what influence they have on the consuming public. The present book provides an avenue for exploring not just what celebrity is as a discursive construction, but also how this involves a complex interplay between celebrities, the media and the audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors  Introduction: (Extra)Ordinary?    Jade Alexander and Katarzyna Bronk    Part 1: Constructing Celebrity  1 “The Big Fellow Is Dead!”: Michael Collins as Celebrity and Nationalist Martyr   Amber Anna Colvin  2 Mediating Bieber in Canada: Authenticating Nation in Fame   Samita Nandy  3 Literary Celebrity, Politics and the Nobel Prize: The Nobel Lecture as an Authorial Self-Fashioning Platform   Sandra Mayer    Part 2: (Re)Envisioning Stardom  4 Oscar Wilde’s Long Afterlife: Victorian Celebrity and Its Transformations in Modern Culture   Anna Fomichenko  5 Touching Fame: Exploring Interactional Dynamics between Local Celebrities and Fans in Sydney’s Roller Derby Scene   Jade Alexander  6 Celebrity Awards, Fan Communities and the Reconstruction of “High” and “Low” Cultures   Mira Moshe","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210750615895,"sku":"9789004366589","price":50.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/extra-ordinary-the-concept-of-authenticity-in-celebrity-and-fan-studies-9789004366589","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
