Kardashian Kulture uses the royal family of celebrity culture to
scrutinize wider understandings of 21st century life. Examining the
worlds of business, politics, technology and entertainment, Ellis
Cashmore shows how fundamental changes to the way we live have been
prompted by celebrities. Examining today's celebrity-obsessed
culture through the lives of a host of household names, including
the Kardashians themselves, this book shows how celebrities have
impacted on the wider culture from the birth of consumerism, the
civil rights movements of the 1960s, and the growth of narcissism
in the 1970s, to the rise of the paparazzi, reality television and
the impact of social media, which has removed the barrier between
celebrities and fans and led to the erosion of personal privacy.
Celebrities are creations rather than people and ultimately,
Cashmore argues, Kardashian Kulture is a product of our own making.
Whether you regard celebrities as a witless bunch of overpaid
show-offs or the conveyors of the zeitgeist is a matter of
judgement and taste, the impact of the Kardashians and their kind
is undeniable.
