Lady Gaga. Poker Face

Lady Gaga. Poker Face

Autor: Maureen Callahan

Número de Páginas: 193

Poker Face es la primera biografía en profundidad de ese fenómeno cultural extraordinario llamado Lady Gaga. En poco menos de un año, Stefani Germanotta, una desconocida artista de la escena musical alternativa del Lower East Side neoyorquino, se convirtió en un icono de carácter global que responde al nombre de Lady Gaga. Artistas como ella -capaces de crear manifestaciones artísticas que mezclan la alta cultura, con la cultura pop, la vanguardia con lo más accesible, la autenticidad con el artificio- sólo se dan muy de vez en cuando. Pero ¿quién es, en realidad, Lady Gaga? Una mujer de veinticuatro años cuyo lema sobre el escenario es lo opuesto de lo que parece ser fuera de él: insegura, aislada y al mismo tiempo incapaz de estar sola. Una artista escandalosa que sueña con ser una cantautora sensible. Que afirma que le da igual lo que la gente pueda pensar de ella, pero que se pasa las horas leyendo en su web las opiniones que suscita en todo el mundo. Que se define a sí misma como una impostora y, al mismo tiempo, como una artista absolutamente auténtica... Basada en más de cincuenta entrevistas con amigos, empleados, rivales y veteranos miembros de la...

Becoming a Malaysian Trans Man

Becoming a Malaysian Trans Man

Autor: Joseph N. Goh

Número de Páginas: 262

This book explores the fluid, mutable and contingent ways in which transgender men in Malaysia construct their subjectivities. Against the dearth of academic resources on Malaysian trans men, this ground-breaking monograph is rooted in the lived experiences of Malaysian trans men whose vicissitudes have mostly been hidden, silenced and overlooked. Comprising diverse age groups, ethnicities, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds and religious persuasions, these trans men reveal how they navigate life in a country with secular and religious laws that criminalise their embodiments, and the strategies they deploy to achieve self-determination and self-actualisation despite being perceived as aberrant and sinful. This book demonstrates how negotiations with constitutive elements such as gender identity, social interaction, citizenship, legality, bodily struggle, medical transitioning and personal spiritual validation condition the becomings of Malaysian trans men.

"Stop feeding me bullshit. Tell me the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2009 "I hate the truth. I hate the truth so much I prefer a giant dose of bullshit any day over the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2010 In little over a year, Stefani Germanotta, a struggling performer in New York's Lower East Side burlesque scene, has become the global demographic-smashing pop icon known as Lady Gaga. She is a once-in-a-decade artist, a gifted singer, composer, designer, and performance artist who mixes high and low culture, the avant-garde with the accessible, authenticity with artifice. Who is Lady Gaga? She is a twenty-four-year-old woman whose stage mantra -- "I'm a free bitch!" -- is the polar opposite of who she is offstage: isolated, insecure, and unable to be alone. She is an outree artist who wanted to be a sensitive singer-songwriter, whose musical heroes include Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen. She is a woman who says no man can ever compete with her career, but who still isn't over the ex-boyfriend who said she was too ambitious. She claims not to care what people think, but spends her downtime online, reading what people have to say about her. She claims to be a con artist and...

“The intricacies of family and the complexities of the games they play mingle wonderfully here in a memoir quite unlike any other.”—George Plimpton, author of Truman Capote Katy Lederer grew up on the bucolic campus of an exclusive East Coast boarding school where her father taught English, her mother retreated into crosswords and scotch, and her much older siblings played “grown-up” games like gin rummy and chess. But Katy faced much more than the typical trials of childhood. Within the confines of the Lederer household an unlikely transformation was brewing, one that would turn this darkly intellectual and game-happy group into a family of professional gamblers. Poker Face is Katy Lederer’s perceptive account of her family’s lively history. From the long kitchen table where her mother played what seemed an endless game of solitaire, to the seedy New York bars where her brother first learned to play poker, to the glamorous Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, where her sister and brother wager hundreds of thousands of dollars a night at the tables, Lederer takes us on a tragicomic journey through a world where intelligence and deceit are used equally as currency. Not since ...

Número de Páginas: 165

Using the latest techniques from poker players to detect when your patients are lying to you. Forensic psychiatrists frequently deal with deceptive people. In these cases, malingering is the most common type of deception one encounters. However, deception on the part of mental health clients in other treatment settings is much broader and more complex than malingering, and learning the signs of deception can be useful for therapists in any specialty, especially those who do not necessarily take what their clients tell them at face value. The book begins with an introduction to some basic concepts concerning deception, with particular emphasis on “what it is” and “what it isn’t.” It then looks at the motivations behind and methods of deception in mental health practice, as well as the common contexts in which deception occurs. Finally, with an eye toward the detection of deception, the book looks at the game of poker as a “clinical case study” to explore whether the popular notion of “tells” has any relevance to the practice of mental health treatment. This short and uniquely illustrated guide will help mental health professionals determine when, why, and how...

Lady Gaga and the Remaking of Celebrity Culture

Lady Gaga and the Remaking of Celebrity Culture

Autor: Amber L. Davisson

Número de Páginas: 202

Lady Gaga represents both the height of celebrity and a disruption of the norms surrounding the social position. This book charts the way the pop star manages the celebrity persona in her relationships with her fans, the development of her gender identity, her parodying of other celebrities, and her navigation of the legal and economic system that make up the music industry. Much of Gaga's ability to maintain ownership of her identity comes from her early decisions to characterize herself as a performance artist. For Gaga, this means living the persona 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Gaga mimicks celebrity life in a self-conscious way that makes the mimicry apparent. Her performance of celebrity is an on-going project--despite what she may claim, she was not born this way. The excess of her celebrity is magnified by her title: Mother Monster. Historically, media narratives of celebrities, monsters, and mothers have centered on uncontrolled excesses that must be contained. Gaga adopts these personas, but refuses to submit to the containment that comes with each. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Yet influencing other people is something that each of us uses every day. And these communication strategies are all the more effective the softer and more seductive they come across. For example, honest praise and authentic compliments can often achieve more than intrigue and envy. Therefore, it is also important to recognize, to understand the interpersonal power games as well as tricks and tactics of other people. After all, whoever has the power determines the direction of march and can enforce his or her goals. Seeing through manipulative strategies thus provides a considerable amount of personal freedom.
