Above all, Diana is a postmodern saint because she enshrines, in riotous, contradictory, transforming, and disorganised fashion the conflicting values of the very different social and cultural dispensations which feed our times. [+/-]
Cultural critics across disciplines present here a thoughtful, illuminating discussion of the myth of Diana--her career, appeal and iconicity. Chapters include: the Hollywoodization of Diana; Diana as a symbol of global consumption and suffering; Diana and Islam; spatial Diana; Diana as exemplar of a new religion; Diana and the therapy culture; and much more. Contributors include Rosalind Brunt, Alvin Cohan, Simon Critchley, Richard Fenn, and Paul Heelas.
