Hunter Thompson's writing is widely read and studied, yet as a
methodology and body of work his Gonzo journalism has not been the
subject of much critical or theoretical examination. This book
fills the gap by constructing a coherent theoretical framework
around Gonzo journalism. Drawing on theories of subjectivity and
authorship from Derrida, Foucault and Barthes, key themes of Gonzo
journalism are considered, including edgework, representations of
drug use, ideas of professional objectivity in political
journalism, sports in American culture and 'the death of the
American Dream'. It is considered in wider social, political and
historical contexts and in terms of boundaries of reportable
experience and of objectivity and/or journalism. Matthew Winston's
study provides a critical commentary and a theoretical exploration
of how Gonzo can be read as destabilising conventional ideas of
journalism itself, in its peculiarly unclassifiable nature. This
book is designed to be read by postgraduates and scholars in
journalism, cultural studies and media and communication. It is
also suitable as an undergraduate text dealing with journalism
theory, literary journalism, sports journalism, the New Journalism
and the wider historical contexts of American journalism.
