The Routledge International Handbook of Mad Studies

Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

This short book by Professor Brett Kahr provides a psychoanalytic understanding of fame and celebrity in the early twenty-first century building upon the bedrock foundations of the Freudian corpus. The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter One explores the psychology of the celebrity questioning narcissistic and exhibitionist psychopathology while Chapter Two examines the psychological state of those of who revel in the fame of others and in celebrity culture more broadly and offers a discussion of the Celebrity Worship Syndrome. Chapter Three provides a very brief history of the concept of celebrity itself arguing that contrary to popular opinion the culture of celebrification cannot be blamed on twenty-first-century media moguls but rather that such a preoccupation with famous personalities can be traced back to ancient times and demonstrates the need to broaden our analysis to include the role of deep unconscious psychological forces. In Chapter Four Kahr reviews some important theoretical concepts advanced by Freud and Winnicott which provide an important foundation for the psychoanalytic study of fame while Chapter Five provides a more comprehensive theory of the unconscious psychological roots of the need to worship fame and to seek it drawing upon a multitude of sources ranging from psychoanalytic theory and developmental psychological research to film archaeology and perhaps surprisingly the history of infanticide. The book concludes in Chapter Six by studying the psychodynamics of celebrity and fame arguing that being recognised by one’s family and friends in the intimate context of home life may well be the very best way to become a celebrity. Celebrity Mad outlines a psychoanalytic theory of the roots of our obsession with fame. It will be of great interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and researchers as well as to readers interested in the psychology of fame. | Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Much has been written about the men and women who shaped the field of advertising some of whom became legends in the industry. However the contributions of African-American women to the advertising business have largely been omitted from these accounts. Yet evidence reveals that some trailblazing African-American women who launched their careers during the 1960s Mad Men era went on to achieve prominent careers. This unique book chronicles the nature and significance of these women’s accomplishments examines the opportunities and challenges they experienced and explores how they coped with the extensive inequities common in the advertising profession. Using a biographical narrative approach this book examines the careers of these important African-American women who not only achieved managerial positions in major mainstream advertising agencies but also established successful agencies bearing their own names. Based on their words and memories this study reveals experiences which are intriguing triumphant bittersweet and sometimes tragic. These women’s stories comprise a vital part of the historical narrative on women and African-Americans in advertising and will be instructive not only to scholars of advertising and marketing history but to future generations of advertising professionals. | Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN
