The Kardashians. Mitografia del contemporaneo
The Kardashians are the media phenomenon that has conquered the world from America. Six leading ladies (Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie and mother Kris) and more than one billion followers globally on social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter).Religious movement numbers with planetary spread.What is the source of this success? On what is this attractiveness based? Is it really all worthless trash? Is it possible to condemn a phenomenon of such vastness and success without first at least trying to understand what are the deep dynamics that define it?To answer these questions and outline some of the mechanisms of success in the digital age that has just begun comes the first theoretical book, worldwide, on the Kardashians.Not a biography, much less a memoir. Much more courageously, but with the humility necessary at the base of any enterprise of thought, an attempt to bring out the significant ‘unsaid’ that characterizes a phenomenon with worldwide effects.
