[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","From the pageantry of Oprah Winfrey's daytime talk show to the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola empire,  American \"pop\" culture-and the contemporary films, television programs, and cultural objects that determine it-dominates the rest of the world through its hegemonic presence. Does that make everyone a hybridized American or do these elements find mediation within the other cultures that consume them? Fabricating the Absolute Fake applies elements of postmodern theory-Jean Baudrillard's hyperreality and Umberto Eco's \"absolute fake\", among others-to this globally mediated American pop culture in order "]
[{"$nulls":4},"to examine both the phenomenon itself and its specific appropriation in the Netherlands, as evidenced by diverse cultural icons like the Elvis-inspired crooner Lee Towers, the Moroccan-Dutch white rapper Ali B, musical tributes to an assassinated politician, and the Dutch reality soap opera scene.   A fascinating exploration of how global cultures struggle to create their own \"America\" within a post-September 11 media culture, Fabricating the Absolute Fake reflects on what it might mean to truly take part in American popular culture.   \"A brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable work of cultural critique. . . . Jaap Kooijman takes seemingly exhausted concepts like \"Americanization\" and turns them on their head.\"-Anne McCarthy, New York University"]
