In Manufacturing Celebrity Vanessa Diaz traces the complex power
dynamics of the reporting and paparazzi work that fuel contemporary
Hollywood and American celebrity culture. Drawing on ethnographic
fieldwork, her experience reporting for People magazine, and dozens
of interviews with photographers, journalists, publicists, magazine
editors, and celebrities, Diaz examines the racialized and gendered
labor involved in manufacturing and selling relatable celebrity
personas. Celebrity reporters, most of whom are white women, are
expected to leverage their sexuality to generate coverage, which
makes them vulnerable to sexual exploitation and assault.
Meanwhile, the predominantly male Latino paparazzi can face
life-threatening situations and endure vilification that echoes
anti-immigrant rhetoric. In pointing out the precarity of those who
hustle to make a living by generating the bulk of celebrity media,
Diaz highlights the profound inequities of the systems that provide
consumers with 24/7 coverage of their favorite stars.
