This essay looks at the release of the album "Random Access Memories" by Daft Punk in 2013, as a unique case to reflect on music and celebrity in the age of social media. As the process of disintermediation of celebrity progresses on, Daft Punk represent a peculiar example of celebrity that integrates a series of elements that reterritorialize a pre-social media, "mythical" imaginary within the contemporary music scene in an original style. The paper discusses this case within a socio-cultural framework, to show how music artists in contemporary times effectively seem to operate according to the logic of a brand, and how this is true both for famous as well as for emerging acts.

Abstract
This essay looks at the release of the album "Random Access Memories" by Daft Punk in 2013, as a unique case to reflect on music and celebrity in the age of social media. As the process of disintermediation of celebrity progresses on, Daft Punk represent a peculiar example of celebrity that integrates a series of elements that reterritorialize a pre-social media, "mythical" imaginary within the contemporary music scene in an original style. The paper discusses this case within a socio-cultural framework, to show how music artists in contemporary times effectively seem to operate according to the logic of a brand, and how this is true both for famous as well as for emerging acts.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
