In the 21st century, when a celebrity with no prior political experience can be elected President of the United States, we might think this is a "new" state of affairs. Yet, celebrity is centuries old, reaching as far back as ancient Greek athletes. This course examines both the present and (some of) the past of celebrity, particularly in the context of sports, politics, film, music, television, and YouTube. The course considers issues such as fan adoration/disdain, media industry practices, labor, marketing, narrative, the body, and the definition of the human subject. Throughout, the course emphasizes how celebrity intersects with and produces various aspects of social identity, particularly gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, age, and dis/ability. This is a multi-disciplinary course, building a nuanced understanding of celebrity by thinking across fields such as psychology, sociology, political science, economics, communication, gender & sexuality studies, and film & media studies.

We now live in an era of around-the-clock surveillance where our daily communications, activities and movements are tracked, stored and analyzed by government and businesses on a scale never before imagined. The digitization of information, the ascendance of Big Data analytics, the growth of behavioral marketing and the increasingly sophisticate tracking technologies have combined to fundamentally alter our concept of personal privacy. If you want to understand and explore the privacy challenges of the Digital Age then this Block U is for you.
