<P>This book investigates the stardom of Lady Gaga within a cultural-sociological framework. Resisting a reductionist perspective of fame as a commodity, the author offers an empirical examination of the social conditions that informed Lady Gaga's rise to fame. The book delves into topics such as the marketing of Lady Gaga; the legal issues that have dogged her career; the media; her audience; her activism; issues of sex, gender, and sexuality; and Lady Gaga's unique artistry. By training a spotlight on this singular pop icon, Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame invites readers to consider the nature of stardom in an age of celebrity. This book theorizes fame from a comprehensive, constructionist viewpoint. It studies one pop star, Lady Gaga, through the lens of a sociological concept of fame and provides a history and context for Lady Gaga's unprecedented popularity.</P>
