  • HOWARD STERN: the Making of "Howard Stern"
    HOWARD STERN: The Making of "Howard Stern": An Analysis of the Duality of the Star Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Magisters der Philosophie an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von Roland HABERSACK am Institut für Amerikanistik Begutachter: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.phil Klaus Rieser Graz, 2011 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the image of the controversial media personality Howard Stern is constructed. His omnipresence in the media including radio, publishing and cinema represents the main reason for this study. Stern‘s secret of success appears to be his urge to expose everything to the public including his own private life. For this study, both his public and his ostensible private persona are taken into account. This duality is necessary to shape our understanding of Howard Stern. As far as the methods are concerned the analysis is based around Richard Dyer‘s four categories that are essential to construct a star image: Promotion, publicity, film and criticism. A semiotic analysis seems to be most appropriate to observe the ideological values as well as the notion of cultural identity evoked by the signs of the star‘s public and private image. In order to compare the two personas and their representations Stern‘s biographical movie Private Parts and various articles and interviews in other visual media are used as reference purposes. Both entities extensively use manipulative means to create the preferred image. The difference lies in the highlighted features. Whereas the media confirms his notorious image, the movie attempts to revert it. Despite the difference of the preferred images, the movie and the media highlight Stern‘s authenticity and honesty in equal measure.
