Among other things, they have in fact facilitated and now shore up the new, all- pervasive power of contemporary celebrity culture, which has radically changed “fashion” and has arguably divided its history in two. At the same time, it has reconfigured traditional patterns of stardom in the film industry and altered many aspects of the “art world”.\n“Celebrities” are a centuries-old phenomenon, as Braudy has convincingly argued. However, in the past, public interest was invariably related either to the political power or social status the celebrities possessed, or to their demonstrable and recognised talent. Until recently, a focus on their physical attributes and their private lives was secondary to what Rojek has called their “ascription” or their “achievement”. He identifies three types of celebrity; the first category is that “ascribed” or created by birth and his second, that “achieved” through unusual talent. But today there is a predominance of celebrities in Rojek’s third and final category, that of  “attributed” celebrity, which describes those who become famous by attracting media attention in some way, and indeed are colloquially described as “famous for being famous”. The work of other media theorists and cultural historians, of course, provides a backdrop to this same phenomenon.\nThe new mediascape has also created our so-called  “post-truth” era, in which  “alternative facts” can now be publicly cited and a reality television star, on becoming the most powerful politician in the western world, can choose not to communicate through conventional means but through Twitter “feeds” and widely advertised public appearances. Ironically, in the past some cultural theorists firmly believed not only that drastic changes to the traditional media were necessary, but that these would, when implemented, radically improve our quality of life. The most notable example is, perhaps, Hans Magnus Enzensberger’s essay Constituents of a Theory of the Media. This often-quoted and highly optimistic text, published at the close of the 1960s was a conscious updating of Walter Benjamin’s famous essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Half a century ago, in that period of great political and cultural upheaval when there was still a sense that scientific, political and cultural progress were inevitable and interlinked, Enzensberger carefully set out his egalitarian ideals. He was firmly convinced that, very soon, we would be able to create and to use our own media, so replacing our dependence on a mediascape rigidly controlled by those with political and social power. The participatory model that he proposed was part of an overall socialist strategy to develop the potentialities of communication media. He advocated collective production and general participation, and interestingly in a pre-digital era, effectively predicted what Henry Jenkins would later christen “convergence culture”.\nArguing that contemporary capitalism depends completely on the exploitation of unreal and ‘false’ needs, he suggested that a truly socialist movement ought not simply to denounce these needs but rather to take them seriously, investigate them carefully and then make them politically productive. Using Lefebvre’s concept of mass consumption as “spectacle, exhibition and show” he developed this further into his own notion of  “a totality, a permanent theatre” in which “the fetishistic nature of the commodities triumphs completely over their use val","cbCaiq5JxX7eZNi1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq5JxX7eZNi1","docx",57139,"English","# The new cultural landscape\n## From stardom to attributed celebrity\n## Post-truth and media power\n# Enzensberger’s media theory and its reversal\n## Participatory utopia versus modern reality\n# Celebrity, fashion, and commodified spectacle","[{\"question\":\"How did social media change contemporary celebrity culture?\",\"answer\":\"The internet and social media intensified celebrity culture’s pervasive power, reshaped “fashion,” and altered traditional patterns of stardom in film and the art world.\"},{\"question\":\"What are Rojek’s categories of celebrity, and how does the current era differ?\",\"answer\":\"Rojek distinguishes “ascribed,” “achieved,” and “attributed” celebrity.
