      abstract = {This book investigates the stardom of Lady Gaga within a  cultural-sociological framework. Resisting a reductionist  perspective of fame as a commodity, Mathieu Deflem offers  an empirical examination of the social conditions that  informed Lady Gaga's rise to fame. The book delves into  topics such as the marketing of Lady Gaga; the legal issues  that have dogged her career; the media; her audience; her  activism; issues of sex, gender, and sexuality; and Lady  Gaga's unique artistry. By training a spotlight on this  singular pop icon, Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame  invites readers to consider the nature of stardom in an age  of celebrity.},
