The Eiffel Tower-once a proud symbol of industrial development, now an
alluring come-on to a romantic vacation in Paris. Nelson Mandela-this
grassroots hero of the liberation from apartheid was featured in a British
Airways magazine article called "The Power of Brand Mandela." Cultural Icons
explores these and other contemporary cultural icons that, over time, have
been endowed with a complex and powerful layering of meanings. The authors
analyze the way in which such icons, whether objects or persons, living or
mythical, are constructed and disseminated. They also critically investigate
the implications, in semiotic and cultural terms, of the accretion of
meaning and popular recognition attached to them, their moral and aesthetic
ambiguity, and their enduring appeal to a fascinated public. This slim and
provocative volume is ideal for courses in visual anthropology, semiotics
and cultural studies.
