Resisting a reductionist perspective of fame as a commodity, Mathieu Deflem offers an empirical examination of the social conditions that informed Lady Gaga?s rise to fame. The book delves into topics such as the marketing of Lady Gaga; the legal issues that have dogged her career; the media; her audience; her activism; issues of sex, gender, and sexuality; and Lady Gaga?s unique artistry. By training a spotlight on this singular pop icon, Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame invites readers to consider the nature of stardom in an age of celebrity. 606 $aWomen singers$zUnited States 606 $aFame$xSocial aspects 606 $aFeminism$xSocial aspects 606 $aSex$xSocial aspects 606 $aMarketing$xSocial aspects 606 $aPopular culture$xSocial aspects 606 $aCelebrities 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aWomen singers 615 0$aFame$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFeminism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSex$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMarketing$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPopular culture$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCelebrities. 676 $a302.23 700 $aDeflem$b Mathieu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0527250 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154818603321 996 $aLady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame$92545696 997 $aUNINA
