Kto był pierwszym celebrytą? Zachodnia historiografia celebrytyzmu, stan na rok 2018

Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2019, Vol 59, Issue 1

Abstract

The article is an overview of historiography focused on celebritism that has been developing autonomously since the 1990s among the English-speaking scholars. Organised around the main question of ‘who was the first celebrity?’, it presents the development of sub-discipline as constituting of five stages: (1) a silent one in the 1980s, when history served only an exemplifying role for media researchers, (2) an initial one in the 1990s, when attention was given to theatrical celebrity, (3) late 1990s and early 2000s, when historical investigation encompassed the world of fame beyond theatre, (4) 2010s, when the merge of history and social sciences gained momentum, and (5) the possible future of celebrity history.<br/><br/>
