In Memoriam: Clarence Clemons


Most of us didn't know him personally, but we nevertheless wove his performances, his sound, into our daily lives. The mourning is real.

About Me

My photo
Daniel Cavicchi
Professor of History, Philosophy, and the Social Sciences, Rhode Island School of Design. This page addresses one of my primary research interests: historical reception, especially the development of what is currently called "fandom." Audiences are typically thought of as secondary, unremarkable, and anonymous in American cultural history. What might happen if we value "audiencing" and move it to the center of how we think about the development of literature, theater, music, movies, sports, and other forms of popular culture?
