In this new book, Mark Wheeler offers the first in-depth analysis
of the history, nature and global reach of celebrity politics
today. Celebrity politicians and politicized celebrities have had a
profound impact upon the practice of politics and the way in which
it is now communicated. New forms of political participation have
emerged as a result and the political classes have increasingly
absorbed the values of celebrity into their own PR strategies.
Celebrity activists, endorsers, humanitarians and diplomats also
play a part in reconfiguring politics for a more fragmented and
image-conscious public arena. In academic circles, celebrity may be
viewed as a manufactured product'; one fabricated by media exposure
so that celebrity activists are no more than bards of the
powerful.' Mark Wheeler, however, provides a more nuanced critique
contending that both celebrity politicians and politicized stars
should be defined by their affective capacity' to operate within
the public sphere. This timely book will be a valuable resource for
students of media and communication studies and political science
as well as general readers keen to understand the nature and reach
of contemporary celebrity culture.
