Dear delegates, A warm and sincere welcome to the fourth international Celebrity Studies Conference Desecrating Celebrity, hosted by Sapienza Università di Roma, and sponsored by Routledge, Fondazione Sapienza, PHD Programme in History of Europe and Nuova Cultura Publisher. Scholars have been drawn from around the world to reflect on the conference’s driving theme Desecrating Celebrity: what happens when celebrities lose their own status? How can celebrities manage their status in the contemporary fluid media-scape? What role do media rituals have in building representations of both celebrification and degradation? What role does the audience play in desecrating a celebrity? What set of communicative practices may compose a degradation ceremony, transforming the social identity of the celebrity into another of a lower rank (such as an ordinary person)? These are just some of the questions that will guide us through a wonderfully rich and diverse three day conference filled with keynotes, panels, presentations, discussions, and social events. We ask you to embrace the philosophy of the conference, that is to share, discuss and debate, in an open, constructive and supportive environment, the ideas that emerge in and across the keynotes, panels and papers you go to see and hear. For three days, Rome, famous for being the Eternal city of visible history, will truly become the City of Celebrity. A special issue of the journal Celebrity Studies will be dedicated to the best papers of the conference; details of submission requirements will be available on the website after the conference. As Celebrity Studies is committed to fostering and sharing high quality academic research and being a central space for the field to grow and explore new ideas, the conference committee is pleased to announce that we will publish electronic proceedings. Moreover, a special issue of Mediascapes Journal (http://www.mediascapesjournal.it/) will be dedicated to media and celebrities. The deadline for sending full papers is August 30th 2018. More information about length and style will be available on the website after the conference and it will also be promoted via emails to all delegates. At the end of this booklet, you will find practical information about the city of Rome and about conference venues. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our keynotes, to our review board, for their support in helping us to prepare for these three upcoming days. Let’s celebrate! The scientific committee: Romana Andò (chair) James Bennett Neil Ewen Gaston Franssen Hannah Hamad Andrea Minuz Sean Redmond Alessandro Saggioro 9 Keynotes speakers ABSTRACTS (in alphabetical order) 10 Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary, University of London Beautiful penitent whore: the desecrated celebrity of Mary Magdalene, Superstar Marina Warner writes: “The Magdalene, like Eve, was brought into existence by the powerful undertow of misogyny in Christianity, which associates women with the dangers and degradations of the flesh” (1994: 225). Mary Magdalene is a superstar: a perennial character of cultural fascination in the East and the West, embodying the classic dichotomy of virgin and whore. In this paper, I will examine her as a celebrity and a film star, using the way in which star studies examines the sources of meaning in a star image, in order to encompass and analyse her contradictory elements. This will be an interdisciplinary encounter with Mary Magdalene, from the perspectives of theology, church and art history, feminist film and media studies, celebrity and pop culture. My aim is to provide a means for productive analysis of her unique

Sep. 2021 International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5233–5251 1932–8036/20160005 In the Time of the Microcelebrity: Celebrification and the YouTuber Zoella ANNE JERSLEV University of Copenhagen, Denmark This article discusses the temporal changes in celebrity culture occasioned by the dissemination of digital media, social network sites, and video-sharing platforms, arguing that, in contemporary celebrity culture, different temporalities are connected to the performance of celebrity in different media: a temporality of plenty, of permanent updating related to digital media celebrity; and a temporality of scarcity distinctive of large-scale international film and television celebrities. The article takes issue with the term celebrification and suggests that celebrification on social media platforms works along a temporality of permanent updating, of immediacy and authenticity. Taking UK YouTube vlogger and microcelebrity Zoella as the analytical case, the article points out that microcelebrity strategies are especially connected with the display of accessibility, presence, and intimacy online; moreover, the broadening of processes of celebrification beyond YouTube may put pressure on microcelebrities’ claim to authenticity. Keywords: celebrification, microcelebrity, YouTubers, vlogging, social media, celebrity culture YouTubers are a huge phenomenon online.

  • How the World Is, and Has Been Controlled by the Same Families for Millennia
    How the World is, and has been controlled by the same Families for Millennia These are the Secret Elite Families that rule the world from behind the scenes and what WE can do to change society for the better Let us begin with a quick look at the current (as of May 2015) British Prime Minister David Cameron; Aristocracy and politics Cameron descends from King William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan through their illegitimate daughter Lady Elizabeth FitzClarence to the fifth female generation Enid Agnes Maud Levita. His father's maternal grandmother, Stephanie Levita (née Cooper) was the daughter of Sir Alfred Cooper and Lady Agnes Duff (sister of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife) and a sister of Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich GCMG DSO PC, the Conservative statesman and author. His paternal grandmother, Enid Levita, who married secondly in 1961 a younger son of the 1st Baron Manton, was the daughter of Arthur Levita and niece of Sir Cecil Levita KCVO CBE, Chairman of London County Council in 1928. Through the Mantons, Cameron also has kinship with the 3rd Baron Hesketh KBE PC, Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords 1991–93. Cameron's maternal grandfather was Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, an army officer and the High Sheriff of Berkshire, and Cameron's maternal great-grandfather was Sir William Mount Bt CBE, Conservative MP for Newbury 1910–1922. Lady Ida Feilding, Cameron's great-great grandmother, was third daughter of William Feilding, Earl of Denbigh and Desmond GCH PC, a courtier and Gentleman of the Bedchamber.

  • Barack Obama and Celebrity Spectacle1
    International Journal of Communication 3 (2009), 715-741 1932-8036/20090715 Barack Obama and Celebrity Spectacle1 DOUGLAS KELLNER University of California at Los Angeles In the contemporary era of media politics, image and media spectacle have played an increasingly important role in presidential politics and other domains of society. With the increasing tabloidization of corporate journalism, lines between news, information and entertainment have blurred, and politics has become a form of entertainment and spectacle. Candidates enlist celebrities in their election campaigns and are increasingly covered in the same way as celebrities, with tabloidized news obsessing about their private lives. In this context, presidential candidates themselves become celebrities and are packaged and sold like the products of the culture industry. In this study, I will suggest some of the ways that the logic of the spectacle promoted the candidacy of Barack Obama and how he has become a master of the spectacle and global celebrity of the top rank. I will discuss how he became a supercelebrity in the presidential primaries and general election of 2008 and utilized media spectacle to help his win the presidency. Finally, I will discuss how Obama has so far in the first 100 Days of his presidency deployed his status as global celebrity and utilized media spectacle to advance his agenda. In the contemporary era, celebrities are mass idols, venerated and celebrated by the media. The media produces celebrities and so naturally the most popular figures promoted by the media industries become celebrities. Entertainment industry figures and sports stars have long been at the center of celebrity culture, employing public relations and image specialists to put out positive buzz and stories concerning their clients, but business tycoons and politicians have also become celebrities in recent years.
