BOOK
James Dean Transfigured
After the death of James Dean in 1955, the figure of the teen
rebel permeated the globe, and its presence is still felt in the
twenty-first century. Rebel iconography-which does not have to
resemble James Dean himself, but merely incorporates his
disaffected attitude-has become an advertising mainstay used to
sell an array of merchandise and messages. Despite being overused
in advertisements, it still has the power to surprise when used by
authors and filmmakers in innovative and provocative ways.
The rebel figure has mass appeal precisely because of its
ambiguities; it can mean anything to anyone. The global
appropriation of rebel iconography has invested it with fresh
meanings. Author Claudia Springer succeeds here in analyzing both
ends of the spectrum-the rebel icon as a tool in upholding
capitalism's cycle of consumption, and as a challenge to that cycle
and its accompanying beliefs.
In this groundbreaking study of rebel iconography in
international popular culture, Springer studies a variety of texts
from the United States and abroad that use this imagery in
contrasting and thought-provoking ways. Using a cultural studies
approach, she analyzes films, fiction, poems, Web sites, and
advertisements to determine the extent to which the icon's
adaptations have been effective as a response to the actual social
problems affecting contemporary adolescents around the world.

James Dean: The Mutant King
This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock 'n' roll's politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.

Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die
In Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die, readers take an evocative journey with author Keith Elliot Greenberg as he pieces together the puzzle of James Dean's final day and its everlasting impact. Greenberg travels to Dean's hometown to talk with folks who knew the star, and all the way to the California roads that underlay the tires of the actor's infamous Porsche Spyder. Taking the story back and forth in time, Greenberg gives insight into what drove Dean to live on the edge - the early loss of his mother, his relentless drive to explore for the sake of his craft. Dean once said, \"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.\" He lived to experience, and the one love that compared to his love of acting was his love of racing cars. Greenberg puts the event in historical context, reflecting on the world Dean lived in at the time, an era after World War II, the end of the Korean War, the advent of rock and roll, with the sixties coming down the pike. The star's too-soon departure froze him as a symbol of American Cool, and as proven by the 20 000 people who return to Dean's grave each year to pay homage, a major influence on youth culture for myriad generations. With fresh interviews with insiders, riveting storytelling, and acute attention to details - from vehicle specs to Dean's stops along the way (including for an ominous speeding ticket) to how the news reached the world - Greenberg delivers a thoughtful look at this historical moment.
