| Abstract: | Celebrity has an age-old appeal. In the Western tradition this appeal and its characteristic motifs can be traced back to
the ancient Greeks. Celebrity populates the public stage with a range of larger-than-life actors who play out the human drama—for
the edification and the entertainment of the audience. There is comic burlesque and there is tragedy. This article considers
the example of the Tiger Woods scandal. |
