Dans l'après-midi du 16 août 1977, Elvis Presley est retrouvé inanimé dans sa salle de bain. Il décède quelque temps plus tard au Baptist Memorial Hospital de Memphis, âgé de 42 ans. La nouvelle fait instantanément le tour du monde. Les radios modifient leur programmation. Les journaux changent leur une. Soixante-quinze mille personnes se regroupent devant les grilles de Graceland, la propriété du chanteur, afin de lui rendre un ultime hommage. C'est, semble-t-il, la fin d'une vie, d'une oeuvre, d'une histoire, d'un phénomène qui ont bouleversé la musique et la culture populaire. La fin ? Pas tout à fait. Car Elvis Presley va renaître, devenir l'un des plus grands mythes du vingtième siècle et l'objet d'un culte croissant. Son succès posthume est retentissant. Elvis renaît, plus complexe, plus grand, plus fort, plus adulé. Il vend année après année toujours davantage de disques et établit aujourd'hui encore de nouveaux records de recettes. Pourquoi, une fois mort, n'est-il donc pas progressivement tombé dans l'oubli qui guette les gloires disparues ? Pourquoi et comment est-il devenu ce personnage omniprésent, régnant au panthéon des plus grandes figures du siècle ? Pour répondre à ces questions, le sociologue Gabriel Segré, spécialiste du « culte Presley », dissèque la façon dont a été élaborée la postérité du King, montre comment s'est construit et développé son mythe, comment est né et a grandi le culte - souvent empreint d'une grande religiosité - qui lui est voué par des fans et fidèles toujours plus nombreux. Il permet de comprendre pourquoi il est finalement permis aujourd'hui d'affirmer : ELVIS EST VIVANT !

A Women's History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a detailed presentation of the band's social and cultural impact as understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also reexamining key, influential female figures within the group's history. Organized topically based on key themes important to the Beatles story, each chapter uncovers the varied and multifaceted relationships women have had with the band, whether face-to-face and intimately or parasocially through mediated, popular culture. Set within a socio-historical context that charts changing gender norms since the early 1960s, these narratives consider how the Beatles have affected women's lives across three generations. Providing a fresh perspective of a well-known tale, this is a cultural history that moves far beyond the screams of Beatlemania to offer a more comprehensive understanding of what the now iconic band has meant to women over the course of six decades.
