Event Date: Friday, September 8, 2017
Presented by Dr. David Marshall, Visiting Scholar at FIMS and Chair in New Media, Communication and Cultural Studies at Deakin University, Australia.
Dr. Marshall's work covers a number of areas related to media, new media, cultural studies and communications. More specifically, he has been developing the field of Persona Studies. This is connected to his work on public personality systems that operate across many cultural fields including entertainment and politics. He is extending this research into the way in which we, via social media, are all collectively engaged in producing mediatized versions of ourselves - or personas. His recent publications in this area include an edited book entitled Contemporary Publics (2016, Palgrave), a sole-authored book entitled Celebrity Persona Pandemics (2016, Minnesota University Press) and an edited collection, A Companion to Celebrity (2016, Blackwell Wiley).
Part of the Mediations Lecture Series, organized by graduate students in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies.
