Description

This Routledge book examines how narcissism has emerged and flourished in contemporary society through the lens of reality television. The author analyses popular reality shows including Toddlers and Tiaras, Hoarders, Sister Wives, Catfish: The TV Show, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Real Housewives to explore the intersection of narcissism and consumerism. The study reveals how modern culture encourages self-focus and self-promotion, leading individuals to construct false identities and develop distorted senses of self. This volume contributes to classical and contemporary social theory by demonstrating how media representation shapes personality development and cultural values. Ideal for students of sociology, anthropology, media studies and psychology seeking to understand the psychological and social forces driving modern narcissism and its amplification through televised entertainment.
