Book ID/图书代码： 04331418C00187

English Summary/英文概要： The Kardashian family are household names. Whether you’ve watched Keeping up with the Kardashians or not, it’s hard to avoid the names Kylie, Kim, Kourtney and Khloé. Their rise to fame is a perfect example of how contemporary celebrity has changed in the 21st century. The Kardashians represent a new kind of fame, where talent and celebrity no longer go hand in hand. This work, written by the author of Elizabeth Taylor: A Private Life for Public Consumption, traces the sources of their influence and assesses the consequences of the new and developing Kardashian Kulture.

Part biography, part sociological text, Cashmore creates a map of the changing social contexts that gave rise to the Kardashians’ fame. Including chapters on the shifting public/ private binary, race, transgenderism, glamour and political impact, Cashmore offers an alternative perspective on celebrity studies, through a unique and fascinating case-study.This work also illustrates how the combination of fame and social media has introduced new types of discourse, around sex, gender, the family, and race.

The world we live in is changing, and the way people – and the media – consume celebrity is changing with it. Through significant cultural events, moments and people, this book looks seriously at how the Kardashians control their fame and what that means for contemporary celebrity culture.
