"In the past, we have tended to see stars as cogs in a mass entertainment industry selling desires and ideologies. But since the 1970s, new approaches have explored the active role of the star in producing meanings, pleasures and identities for a diversity of audiences. Drawn from film history, sociology, textual analysis, audience research, psychoanalysis and cultural politics, the[se] essays raise important questions for the politics of representation, the impact of stars on society and the cultural limitations and possibilities of stars".
