The follow up to Chris Rojek's hugely successful Celebrity, this book assesses celebrity culture today.

The book develops the framework for looking at celebrity culture which Rojek set out back in 2001, by showing how ascribed celebrity, achieved celebrity and celetoids overlap. The book gives a new emphasis to the role of the media and public relations in engineering fame, and the psychological consequences of celebrity - notably Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Celebrity Worship Syndrome. The book is a landmark contribution in explaining how celebrities dominate the social horizon and why we need them. 2022-10-14T14:52:46Z 2022-10-14T14:52:46Z 2012 book ONIX_20221014_9781849668057_60 9781849668057 9781849668040 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58729 eng application/pdf n/a 9781849668040.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781849661386 10.5040/9781849661386 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781849668057 9781849668040 Bloomsbury Academic 208 London open access
