Description

Stardom: Industry of Desire by Routledge offers a deep look into the evolution of star studies. While stars were once viewed simply as parts of a mass entertainment industry used to sell ideologies, modern film and cultural studies have changed this perspective. This collection explores how stars actively produce meanings, pleasures, and identities for diverse audiences. This volume brings together major writings from the last decade to analyze the phenomenon of stardom. The essays are organized into four distinct thematic sections: The System, Stars and Society, Performers and Signs, and Desire and Politics. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the complex relationship between performers, society, and the mechanics of fame.
