The revenge of Asia Argento: Desecrating celebrity as a means of celebrity culture

The pace of production of famous people within the contemporary mediascape seems to have accelerated in recent years, thanks to the connective media that are progressively involving in both the celebrification and celebritisation process a larger and more diverse group of people compared to the past.
