{"product_id":"popular-music-stars-and-stardom-stephen-loy-9781760462123","title":"Popular Music, Stars and Stardom","description":"\u003cp\u003eA\n\u003cbr\u003e  popular fascination with fame and stardom has existed in Western culture\n\u003cbr\u003e  since the late eighteenth century; a fascination that, in the twenty-first\n\u003cbr\u003e  century, reaches into almost every facet of public life. The pervasive\n\u003cbr\u003e  nature of stardom in modern society demands study from the perspectives of a\n\u003cbr\u003e  range of distinct but thematically connected disciplines. The exploration of\n\u003cbr\u003e  intersections between broader considerations of stardom and the discourses of\n\u003cbr\u003e  popular music studies is the genesis for this volume. The chapters\n\u003cbr\u003e  collected here demonstrate the variety of work currently being undertaken in\n\u003cbr\u003e  stardom studies by scholars in Australia. The contributions range from\n\u003cbr\u003e  biographical considerations of the stars of popular music, contributions to\n\u003cbr\u003e  critical discourses of stardom in the industry more broadly, and the various\n\u003cbr\u003e  ways in which the use of astronomical metaphors, in both cultural commentary\n\u003cbr\u003e  and academic discourse, demonstrate notions of stardom firmly embedded in\n\u003cbr\u003e  popular music thought. Not only do these chapters represent a range of\n\u003cbr\u003e  perspectives on popular music, stars and stardom, they provide eloquent and\n\u003cbr\u003e  innovative contributions to the developing discourse on stardom\n\u003cbr\u003e  in popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Loy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43175312654579,"sku":"9781760462123","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781760462123.jpg?v=1662072651","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/popular-music-stars-and-stardom-stephen-loy-9781760462123","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
