The chapters address a variety of cultural venues--politics, sports, film, and literature--and examine the political, cultural, material, and affective conditions that shaped celebrity in Canada and its uses both at home and abroad. The scope of the book enables the authors to highlight the trends that characterize Canadian celebrity--such as transnationality and bureaucracy--and explore the regional, linguistic, administrative, and indigenous cultures and institutions that distinguish fame in Canada from fame elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn historicizing and theorizing Canada's complicated cultures of celebrity, \u003ci\u003eCelebrity Cultures in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e rejects the argument that nations are irrelevant in today's global celebrityscapes or that Canada lacks a credible or adequate system for producing, distributing, and consuming celebrity. Nation and national identities continue to matter--to celebrities, to fans, and to institutions and industries that manage and profit from celebrity systems--and Canada, this collection argues, has a vibrant, powerful, and often complicated and controversial relationship to fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katja Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771122226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771122221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Katja Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567187915007,"sku":"9781771122221","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef823ab3-1b7d-4bae-a83e-033312949505.jpg?v=1701376459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/celebrity-cultures-in-canada-katja-lee-9781771122221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
