Elvis Presley. Marilyn Monroe. LeBron James. They're all
American, of course, but like many cultural figures who hail from
the United States, they have names and faces known the world over.
"ConFiguring America" brings together a series of incisive essays
that analyze a wide range of such figures: those who embody
America's tendency to produce celebrities and iconic personalities
with global reach. Drawing on theoretical insights from a variety
of fields--including cultural iconography, visual culture, star
studies, and history--a diverse group of international contributors
sheds light on how these figures and their media representations
construct America's image beyond its borders. An important addition
to an expanding field, "ConFiguring America" will deepen readers'
understanding of celebrity, iconography, and their worldwide
implications.
