CFP: Who is He Now? The Unearthly David Bowie




In this Special Edition of the Forum Section of the journal Celebrity 
Studies, we are seeking papers that explore the stardom and celebrity of 
David Bowie. With his latest album reviewed as one of the great rock 
comebacks ever, the release of a series of portentous music videos that 
recall and reflect upon his artistic career, and the forthcoming 
record-breaking David Bowie Is exhibition at the V&A in London, the 
editors consider this to be a perfect moment to assess who Bowie is now?



The editors of this special edition solicit short papers of 1,000 to 
1,500 words in length that assess Bowie in relation to his music, 
performativity, and identity. Suggested topics include, but are not 
limited to:
