Povedák István (szerk.): Heroes and Celebrities in Central- and Eastern Europe
"Heroes and Celebrities in Central and Eastern Europe" is a fascinating collection of articles on topics as diverse as outlaw heroes, national holidays, football hooliganism, and Serbian paramilitaries. It is a serious and groundbreaking exploration of the idea of the hero, exploring ideas of celebrity, consumerism, and nationalism. The authors employ the theoretical approaches of folklore, communications, semiotics, and other areas of cultural studies. This book is of interest and importance far beyond its focus area of Eastern and Central Europe. (Jack Santino)
