*_About the book_*

Is classical Hollywood stardom the last word on film stars? How do film stars function in non-Hollywood contexts, such as Bollywood, East Asia and Latin America? What new developments has screen stardom undergone in recent years, both in Hollywood and elsewhere? These are the key questions we address in our new collection on star studies.


Gathering together the important new research in the field, from a global range of contributors, we include case studies of stars from many different cultures, considered from new angles, and challenging the received wisdom on the subject. We raise important questions about image, performance, bodies, voices and fans in cultures across the globe. From Hollywood to Bollywood, from China to Italy, and from Poland to Mexico, this collection revisits the definitions and origins of star studies, and points the way to new approaches in this dynamic field.
