Przedstawione zostały mechanizmy funkcjonowania mediów społecznościowych, ułatwiających dotarcie do określonej grupy odbiorców, a także wzmacniających więzi między fanami a artystą. Dokonano również analizy społecznej fanów, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem społeczności gejowskiej. Praca zawiera liczne przykłady działalności artystycznej i marketingowej Lady Gagi, która realnie wpływa na budowanie silnych relacji ze swoimi odbiorcami, którzy są już nie tylko konsumentami popkultury, lecz także jej twórcami.

Wszystkie jej teksty mają zabarwienie aksjologiczne i przekazują pewne wartości i schematy stylu życia, a ich rozprzestrzenianiu i zagnieżdżaniu się w społeczeństwie sprzyja zjawisko globalizacji. Konsekwencją tego jest rosnąca popularność takich idoli popkultury jak Lady Gaga, którzy zastępują tradycyjne autorytety. Jej wizerunek, teksty piosenek, teledyski i rytm odnoszą się do doświadczeń dzisiejszej młodzieży, dzięki czemu wprowadzają ją w proces socjalizacji do życia w ponowoczesnej rzeczywistości. Ikony popkultury stwarzają wzory tożsamości, które przejmują fani. Przy okazji nie wydają nakazów ani zakazów, a raczej uwodzą i kuszą odbiorców, zdobywając ich względy. Idolami kultury młodzieżowej zawsze były postacie alternatywne, znajdujące się w opozycji do kultury oficjalnej. Ale w dobie globalizacji nawet bunt zyskał status produktu na sprzedaż. Niewątpliwie przyczynia się do tego dynamiczny rozwój nowych mediów i serwisów społecznościowych, umożliwiających niemal natychmiastową komunikację idoli z fanami. Szybkie rozpowszechnianie

The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Story at Scale’s funders or partners . Author’s Preface It is clear that we are in a moment of massive cultural upheaval around gender . Stereotypical gender performances dominate television, film, and music. Our culture is overwhelmed with limited visions of gender that create distressing and unsafe conditions for those who do not conform to dominant cultural norms––from sexual harassment and assault to the rise in murders of Black transgender women . But this is also a positive moment . New visions of gender and gender justice can be seen in the #MeToo movement, in the many new gender expressions in popular culture explored in this report, and in the increased number of people who are creating change in industries and across society, despite not conforming to narrow cultural stereotypes of who can be a “leader” in politics, business, or media.

Dále je zpracována rešerše odborné literatury, která se zabývá psychologií reklamy a toho, jak na společnost působí různé psychologické aspekty. V této části jsou taktéž vymezeny metody analýzy a lze zde najít metodiku práce spolu s výzkum- nými otázkami. V části praktické je představena celebrita, která se vyskytuje ve zkoumaných spotech, je proveden popis a analýza těchto spotů samotným autorem a následně je zpracován výzkum na základě polostrukturovaných dotazníků. Klíčová slova: celebrita, Lady Gaga, marketingová komunikace, psychologie, reklamní spoty ABSTRACT The theoretical part of this thesis talks mostly about the term of celebrity and its use in the marketing industry. What follows is a research on literature focused on advertising psycho- logy and the way specific psychological aspects affect people. In this part there are also defined methods of analysis and the work methology together with research questions can be found there. In the practical part there is a celebrity that occurs in the examined commercial spots intro- duced, a description and an analysis of these spots is done by the author himself and then an investigation based on semi-structured questionnaires is done. Key words: celebrity, Lady Gaga, marketing communications, psychology, advertising videos Rád bych poděkoval vedoucímu práce Mgr. Josefu Kocourkovi, Ph.D. za vedení této práce a jeho trpělivost s mými častými dotazy. Dále chci poděkovat Martinovi za nekonečnou lásku a podporu. Kristýně za povzbuzování a korekturu. Mamce za všechno. „Being gay is like glitter, it never goes away.“ – Lady Gaga Prohlašuji, že odevzdaná verze bakalářské/diplomové práce a verze elektronická nahraná do IS/STAG jsou totožné.

  • Lady Gaga Reveals She Started DBT Therapy, Olanzapine After Having a Psychotic Break in New Interview
    Lady Gaga Reveals She Started DBT Therapy, Olanzapine After Having a Psychotic Break in New Interview Leah Groth HealthNovember 6, 2019 There’s no denying it: Lady gaga is a powerhouse. In the past few years, not only has she continued cranking out music, but she’s also received critical acclaim for her role as Ally in A Star is Born, and recently launched her makeup brand, Haus Laboratories. But now, pop star is opening up (to Oprah Winfrey, no less) about her struggles with mental and physical health—and she’s not holding anything back. In the new interview for Elle, Gaga revealed just how much she identified with her A Star is Born character Ally, due to the trauma she’s experienced in her life. “I was raped when I was 19-year-old, repeatedly,” she said, also bringing up her fibromyalgia diagnosis. “I have PTSD. I have chronic pain. Neuropathic pain trauma response is a weekly part of my life. I’m on medication; I have several doctors,” she explained. At one point, Gaga said she thought she’d never totally recover from her trauma—and eventually, she had a “psychotic break,” which is essentially an episode of psychosis when a person loses touch with reality, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “It was one of the worst things that’s ever happened to me,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was going on, because my whole body went numb; I fully dissociated. I was screaming, and then he calmed me down and gave me medication for when that happens— olanzapine.” Gaga went on to say that she still takes olanzapine, which is a mood stabilizer, since that experience.
