Examining the worlds of business, politics, technology and entertainment, Ellis Cashmore shows how fundamental changes to the way we live have been prompted by celebrities.Examining today's celebrity-obsessed culture through the lives of a host of household names, including the Kardashians themselves, this book shows how celebrities have impacted on the wider culture from the birth of consumerism, the civil rights movements of the 1960s, and the growth of narcissism in the 1970s, to the rise of the paparazzi, reality television and the impact of social media, which has removed the barrier between celebrities and fans and led to the erosion of personal privacy.Celebrities are creations rather than people and ultimately, Cashmore argues, Kardashian Kulture is a product of our own making. Whether you regard celebrities as a witless bunch of overpaid show-offs or the conveyors of the zeitgeist is a matter of judgement and taste, the impact of the Kardashians and their kind is undeniable. 410 0$aSocietyNow. 606 $aCelebrities 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aSocial Science$xPopular Culture$2bisacsh 606 $aPopular culture$2bicssc 615 0$aCelebrities. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 7$aSocial Science$xPopular Culture. 615 7$aPopular culture. 676 $a302.5 700 $aCashmore$b Ellis$0143672 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793714803321 996 $aKardashian kulture$93789282 997 $aUNINA
