Celebrity, Pedophilia, and Ideology in American Culture reveals the
connections between rapacious capitalism and the rape of children.
The twenty chapters, which span the analysis of childhood,
celebrity culture, important books and films on pedophilia and
violence, post-9/11 theology and public rhetoric, and killing for
fame, in an interrelated fashion cover intrinsically important
areas of ideology. The book develops detailed theoretical insights
in cultural theory and philosophy. With the economic meltdown of
the first decade of the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the
inability of the free market to cope with our contemporary world,
which is not limitless, in terms of knowledge and the power of
science to dominate the material world and resources. Child sexual
abuse here functions as a metaphor for the rapacious attack on the
planet, which knows no limit penetrating everything, even--and most
especially--the weakest form, at every opportunity, corrupting the
future. The pervasiveness of child sexual abuse, for many, cannot
be argued with, and, in a postmodern world where truth is anathema,
it offers a form of truth and is concerned with the absolute limit.
Stimulating, suggestive, and sometimes provocative, the
capaciousness of these essays will inform everyone interested in
the media, popular culture, theory and theology, politics, and the
zeitgeist. Celebrity, Pedophilia, and Ideology in American Culture
is an important book for all media studies, popular culture,
cultural theory, and American studies collections.
