Celebrity Personalities, Who Reign Over Much Of Our Cultural Landscape, Owe Their Fame Not To Specific Deeds But To The Ability To Project A Distinct Personal Image, To Create An Icon Of The Self. Rising Star Is A Fascinating Look At The Roots Of This Particular Form Of Celebrity. Here Rhonda Garelick Locates A Prototype Of The Star Personality In The Dandies And Aesthete Literary Figures Of The Nineteenth Century, Including Beau Brummell, Baudelaire, Mallarm, And Oscar Wilde, And Explores Their Peculiarly Charged Relationship With Women And Performance.When Findesicle Aesthetes Turned Their Attention To The New, 'Feminized' Spectacle Of Mass Culture, Garelick Argues, They Found A Disturbing Female Counterpart To Their Own Highly Staged Personae. She Examines The Concept Of The Broadcasted Selfimage In Literary Works As Well As In Such Unwritten Cultural Texts As The Choreography And Films Of Dancer Loie Fuller, The Industrialized Spectacles Of European World Fairs, And The Cultural Performances Taking Place Today In Fields Ranging From Entertainment To The Academy. Recent Dandylike Figures Such As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, Madonna, Jacques Derrida, And Jackie O. All Share A Legacy Provided By The Encounter Between 'High' And Early Mass Culture. Garelick'S Analysis Of This Encounter Covers A Wide Range Of Topics, From The Gender Complexity Of The European Male Dandy And The Mechanization Of The Female Body To Orientalist Performance, The Origins Of Cinema, And The Emergence Of 'Crowd' Theory And Mass Politics.
