Stars, Anti-Stars, Anti-Star-Stars

Christoph Jacke · Persona Studies · 2024

The phenomenon of stars and celebrities in media cultures – and especially in popular music cultures – seems to be omnipresent. At the same time, there is an astounding lack of analysis and research on these media personalities and personas, and international celebrity studies only recently a developing new field. Similarly, these kinds of observations are still very rare especially in German sociology as well as communication, media, culture and popular music studies. In this article, I therefore want to concentrate on the foundations of studying stars and celebrities within the attention economies by undertaking a theoretical transmedia-cultural framing of media personas and suggesting a typology. This ensuing typology of stars, anti-stars, and anti-star stars – especially within popular music cultures – demonstrates how stars and celebrities and their quantities and qualities of success and peer-group specific values coming form programs of (media and music) culture can serve as persona-seismographs of socio-cultural change between tradition and innovation.

Rock Stars/Pop Stars

Brady J. Leyser, Pol Gosset · Greenwood eBooks · 1994

<JATS1:p>With a listing of over 3,600 books about individual artists and groups, this is the most accurate and comprehensive bibliography available on Rock/Pop stars. It is the most authoritative source for English-language titles, which are listed in the main directory under an A-Z presentation of artists. For easy access, information is cross-referenced through the use of author, title, and subject indexes. A down-to-the-wire supplement completes the book in a timely fashion. Collectors will be pleased with entries for privately published and/or limited editions, of which many are very rare.</JATS1:p>

Quark core stars, quark stars and strange stars

F. Grassi · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1988

A recent one flavor quark matter equation of state is generalized to several flavors. It is shown that quarks undergo a first order phase transition. In addition, this equation of state depends on just one parameter in the two flavor case, two parameters in the three flavor case, and these parameters are constrained by phenomenology. This equation of state is then applied to the hadron-quark transition in neutron stars and the determination of quark star stability, the investigation of strange matter stability and possible strange star existence. 43 refs., 6 figs.

Neutron stars and strange stars

D. Gondek · International Astronomical Union Colloquium · 1996

If strange quark plasma is the real ground state of baryonic matter (Witten 1984), then some of neutron stars (NS) could actually be strange stars (SS). It is difficult to distinguish SS from NS observationally. They have similar radii and masses and their crusts are built of the same matter. It seems that a good method for testing the existence of SS would be the studies of phenomena related to the stellar pulsations. In 1976 Boriakoff proposed that radial oscillations of NS could be observed within radio subpulses of pulsars. While various modes of pulsations of NS were studied by a number of authors, little attention was paid to seismological signatures of SS. The radial oscilations of bare SS were studied by Väth &amp; Chanmugam (1992). Recently Weber (this volume) studied properties of stars made of matter described by BPS equation of state (EOS) (Baym et al. 1971) with a ball of strange matter inside, but they mainly concentrated on stability of white-dwarf-like SS. In this work I present fully relativistic calculations of the radial oscillation frequencies of SS. I determined the fundamental frequency for bare SS and SS with two different types of crusts depending on origin (Alcock et al. 1986) of SS and showed differences between them.

Animaux de stars, animaux stars ?

Annick Batard · Éditions du Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques eBooks · 2021

L’article interroge les discours culturels sur les animaux dans la presse écrite généraliste française contemporaine avec une approche en sciences de l’information et de la communication, et s’appuie notamment sur la série intitulée « Muse à museau » du Monde. Après avoir vu le cas d’animaux bien-aimés de diverses célébrités (lévrier afghan de Picasso, guenon de Michel Simon et Horizonte, cheval de Bartabas), certains animaux mal-aimés parce qu’inquiétants (mygales et scorpions de JoeyStarr, serpents d’Alice Cooper) sont évoqués comme éléments de l’image de certains artistes. La troisième partie aborde le cochon, comme bête ambivalente et l’amour que lui portait l’actrice Bodil Joensen. La quatrième et dernière partie interroge le statut de star qu’acquerraient certains animaux avec la publication d’une floraison de livres ou d’articles leur étant consacrés, avant de terminer en interrogeant le statut de certains animaux artistes qui toucheraient des droits d’auteur.
