Bøger af Stuart Sherman

The Main Stream is a book written by Stuart Sherman that explores the concept of ""mainstream"" and its impact on society. The author delves into the idea of what is considered mainstream and how it affects our daily lives, from our choices in music and entertainment to our political beliefs and social norms. Sherman argues that the mainstream is not just a neutral force, but rather a powerful tool that can be used to shape and control our thoughts and actions. He also examines the ways in which the mainstream is constantly changing and evolving, and how this can lead to both progress and stagnation. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of a fundamental aspect of modern society, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in cultural studies, sociology, or media studies.1927.

In bringing biography and celebrity together, the essays in Making Stars interrogate contemporary and current understandings of each. Although biography was not invented in the eighteenth century, the period saw the emergence of works that focus on individuals who are interesting as much, if not more, for their everyday, lived experience than for their status or actions. At the same time, celebrity emerged as public fascination for the private lives of publicly visible individuals. Biography and celebrity are mutually constitutive, but in complex and varied ways that this volume unpacks. Contributors to this volume present us a picture of eighteenth-century celebrity that was mediated across multiple sites, demonstrating that eighteenth-century celebrity culture in Britain was more pervasive, diverse and, in many ways, more egalitarian, than previously supposed.
