Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process. -

In 2002 I bid and won the right to host my first convention in 2004. It was a good learning experience and some three years later I bid to run my second con in well 2009. This year’s convention was far more chal- lenging for us in the way of volunteers and busy personal lives as both Brian and I had ever growing responsibili- ties outside of the convention. I am happy to say though here we are with all our problems and mistakes getting ready to see the fruits of our labors. I must admit that this year’s dinner is something that I have planned and I am looking forward to. We have fantastic guests in Katherine Kurtz, Kelley Armstrong, Red and Ed, Liana K and Ed the sock, (AKA Steven Kerzner) and our two entertainment guests Luke Ski and Shoe Box. In the years to come we will need new blood and people to run the convention. I am encouraging every- one to attend the future of Keycon panel this year to discuss where we are going and what we want to see for the future. With my last breath I wish to thank my partner and the convention staff that stuck to it through trying times, economic crisis and more government regulations then I wish to discuss. Brian and I, as with any partner- ship, had our ups and downs over the past two years, but as a good team we came together to get things done. -
