Inhalt:
The global icon is an omnipresent but poorly understood element of mass culture. This work asks why audiences around the world have embraced particular iconic figures, how perceptions of these figures have changed, & what this tells us about transnational relations since the Cold War era. Prestholdt addresses these questions by examining one type of icon: the anti-establishment figure. As symbols that represent sentiments, ideals, or something else recognizable to a wide audience, icons of dissent have been integrated into diverse political & consumer cultures, & global audiences have reinterpreted them over time. To illustrate these points, this text examines four of the most evocative & controversial figures of the past fifty years: Che Guevara, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, & Osama bin Laden.
