*_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.
