Abstract
ABSTRACT The death of Elvis Presley in August 1977 unveiled a field of contested interpretative and emotional positions regarding his public persona and its wider cultural implications. Closely studying the particular repercussions of such contestations in Denmark, using the totality of available source material, this article analyses a historically specific complex of temporal sediments and contested cultural norms and emotional expressions in connection with international celebrities and their fans and detractors. In more general terms, this study can contribute to the ongoing endeavours to historicise approaches to celebrities and the webs of significance surrounding their deaths.
