His excessive drug use, sexual escapades and issues with the law are hailed as 'intriguing' and even 'poetic' by journalists as he is consistently framed as heroic and something to aspire to. This is exemplar of hegemonic masculinity in comparison to Winehouse's media image as she is victimised where Doherty is admired. News articles are comparatively analysed within this article, finding that Doherty's hedonistic lifestyle is naturalised as masculine and courageous. His star image as a rebellious rock and roll star is constructed as something to fantasise about and aspire to due to his gender.]]> 2019-03-28 10:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346048250 201113416 https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346058309 This chapter discusses the representation of masculinity in rock music in several films. The spirit of rebelliousness is idealised and attitudes towards the rock lifestyle are celebratory across numerous Hollywood movies. It discusses rock music as a predominately male industry and associates the lifestyle with an “archaic image of man” with an emphasis on sexual dominance and a self-destructive lifestyle as a performance of masculinity. The sensationalism that comes from the rock and roll star persona means that the characters within these movies performing this form of masculinity are not met with critique but instead admiration from audiences. These archetypal rock and roll stars in film can be applied to the construction of Pete Doherty’s persona in the media. He is performing a type of masculinity and authentic rebelliousness specific to rock stars.]]> 2019-03-28 10:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346058309 201113416 https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346060334 This article framed Doherty as a tortured and troubled genius rather than a criminal. Though jailed for a brawl with a documentary maker, the journalist discusses how he is set to "emerge as a poet". His violent, drug fuelled behaviour is not condemned but described as a "scuffle". While his actions that led him to jail are briefly discussed, the media hype surrounding his excitement to become a published poets are the focal point of the article. The consequences of his actions are not critiqued and he is framed as an independent, wayward artist and, above all, a rock star who is above consequences.]]> 2019-03-28 10:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346060334 201113416 https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346064143 This video shows Doherty being released from prison.

There is an emphasis of "living in the moment" and being unapologetic for the underlying theme of the interview being drugs. His self-destruction is a performance of his rock identity and masculinity and is something for onlookers to aspire to.]]> 2019-03-28 11:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346081250 201113416 https://padlet.com/201113416/3ajik91s4pmx/wish/346095377 This British chat show discusses the matter of whether or not Doherty should be imprisoned.
