Abstract

To conclude this Special Issue ‘Re-Fashioning Stories for Celebrity Counterpublics’ of the Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies (AJMS), I am delighted to share an interview with Samita Nandy, celebrity scholar, filmmaker and director of the Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS). Her research focuses on the cultural dimensions of fame, with a specific interest in celebrity activism, storytelling and the performance of authenticity and intimacy in glamorous narratives. In addition to her academic work, Nandy is also a certified broadcast journalist from Canada and media critic. I had the opportunity to assist her and Kiera Obbard with the organization of the 8th CMCS Conference, which inspired this Special Issue. This interview is thus an opportunity to further expand our reflection on the political possibilities of storytelling and celebrity counterpublics. Our discussion builds on the themes and arguments developed throughout this issue to further explore what popular storytelling means in practice. She reflects on her engagement with celebrity culture and life-writing in her feminist research and artistic endeavours, and how it has empowered her to tell personal and collective stories. The interview format and its themes provide a unique opportunity to contemplate the affordances of a reflective practice paradigm and the artistic applications of disciplinary knowledge, one which bridges academic work with media professions, and which we hope will resonate with AJMS readers.
通过女权主义电影制作重新塑造故事,采访萨米塔·南迪
作为《应用新闻与媒体研究杂志》(AJMS)本期“重塑名人反公众故事”特刊的结语,我很高兴分享对名人学者、电影制作人、媒体与名人研究中心(CMCS)主任萨米塔·南迪(Samita Nandy)的采访。她的研究重点是名气的文化维度,对名人行动主义、讲故事以及在迷人叙事中的真实性和亲切感兴趣。除了她的学术工作,南迪也是一名来自加拿大的认证广播记者和媒体评论家。我有机会协助她和Kiera Obbard组织第八届CMCS会议,这激发了本期特刊的灵感。因此,这次采访是一个机会,可以进一步扩大我们对讲故事和名人反公众的政治可能性的思考。我们的讨论建立在贯穿这一问题的主题和论点之上,以进一步探索通俗故事在实践中的意义。她回顾了自己在女权主义研究和艺术活动中与名人文化和生活写作的接触,以及这如何赋予她讲述个人和集体故事的能力。采访的形式和主题提供了一个独特的机会来思考反思实践范式的启示和学科知识的艺术应用,它将学术工作与媒体专业联系起来,我们希望能与AJMS的读者产生共鸣。
