ABSTRACT

This paper submits that the hegemonic order in celebrity studies is fixated upon questions of utility, yield and economic asset value. These technical considerations support a technocratic engagement with celebrity that exaggerates the importance of technology and linearity. By the same token, it devalues philosophical perspectives that address questions of Transcendence and Ultimate Meaning. The term ‘Triangulation’ is introduced to describe the dominant paradigm in celebrity studies. The paper develops the case that to ignore these philosophical issues impoverishes the domain of celebrity studies. The value of these questions is demonstrated by discussing the relevance of Kant’s concepts of noumena and noumena, Hegel’s account of World Historical Individuals. This material is used to advance the value of phenomenological perspectives, notably the contributions of Bergson and Husserl, in respect of time and space, in the analysis of celebrity.

摘要

本文认为，名人研究中的霸权秩序是固定在效用、收益和经济资产价值的问题上的。这些技术考虑支持与名人的技术官僚接触，夸大了技术和线性的重要性。出于同样的原因，它贬低了解决超验和终极意义问题的哲学观点。引入“三角测量”一词来描述名人研究中的主导范式。该论文提出了一个案例，即忽视这些哲学问题会使名人研究领域变得贫乏。这些问题的价值通过讨论康德的本体和本体概念、黑格尔对世界历史个体的描述的相关性得到证明. 该材料用于提升现象学观点的价值，特别是柏格森和胡塞尔在名人分析中在时间和空间方面的贡献。
