LSE Public Lecture - Christ to Coke? How image becomes icon.
Speaker(s): Professor Martin Kemp Chair: Nick Byrne
Recorded on 3 November 2011 in Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House.
Informative, funny, sad, and surprising by turns, this is the first book to look at all the main types of visual icon, taking eleven mega-famous examples, from Christ to the Coke bottle, to see how they arose and how they continue to function. Image, branding, and logos are obsessions of our age. Iconic images dominate the media.
This event marks the publication of Kemp’s new book Christ to Coke: How Image Becomes Icon.
Martin Kemp FBA is Emeritus Professor in the History of Art at Trinity College, Oxford University. He has written, broadcast and curated exhibitions on imagery in art and science from the Renaissance to the present day.
Nick Byrne is Director of the LSE Language Centre and a member of the LSE’s Arts Advisory Group.

Full Interview: Baratunde Thurston on Marketing Your Book in a Digital Age | Spark
These days, authors are increasingly expected to do more than just, you know, write books. They’re expected to have a presence on social media, to have a public profile, and to connect with fans and potential new readers. Baratunde Thurston is taking that a step further. Actually, he’s taking it several steps further. He’s a comedian, Director of Digital for The Onion, and he’s the author of the forthcoming book, How to Be Black. He’s assembled a volunteer ‘street team’ to help market the book through word-of-mouth and social media, and is modeling the marketing of the book on a political campaign. Is this the future for all authors? And what if you’re a low profile person who just wants to write?
