Fleeting Frames

di Nora Fielding (Autore)

Silverpine Books, 2026

A single red-carpet hairstyle, a jacket glimpsed in a paparazzi shot, a candid press photo—within days, the same look shows up in news roundups, reaction memes, storefront displays, search results, and library records. What travels between those moments is not just a picture, but a chain of decisions, labels, and commercial prompts. Drawing on media studies, librarianship, and platform design, Nora Fielding follows celebrity visuals from photographer to newsroom to influencer feed to recommendation engine. She unpacks the logics of news desks and image agencies, the role of fans and influencers in amplifying a look, and the often-invisible work of algorithms that read faces, outfits, and settings as data. Along this path, the book traces the afterlife of viral looks in catalogs, reading lists, and retail systems. Fielding shows how subject headings, tags, and product metadata can either flatten or deepen what people are able to find later—and how small descriptive choices shape who is represented, who is recommended, and who quietly disappears from view. Written for media and journalism students, librarians, and cultural critics, Fleeting Frames offers concrete frameworks, ethical questions, and reusable templates for teaching with images, building more thoughtful collections, and planning curricula around fast-moving celebrity culture without being trapped by the week's trending feed.
