Description
Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and The Archive focuses on one of the world's most famous feminists, using previously unexplored archival material to demonstrate the impact of Greer's celebrity feminism on readers and viewers since the 1970s.
In the first book to critically reflect upon this provocative figure, Anthea Taylor emphasises that Greer-as-celebrity has always elicited complex affective responses from audiences. Taylor's engaging examination of Greer's archived letters, from fans, anti-fans, and those between these two extremes, reveals much about the social and political function of celebrity over time. Through a detailed analysis of this vast archived correspondence, this volume shows how and why viewers and readers have come to affectively invest - or disinvest - in this iconoclastic feminist.
Advancing debates in celebrity and fan studies, and archival and gender studies, Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and The Archive will be an important resource to scholars in Feminist Studies, Gender Studies, Philosophy, and Sociology.
