Sommario/riassunto

"By integrating star studies and film industry studies, Hollywood Stardom reveals the inextricable bonds between culture and commerce in contemporary notions of film stardom.  Integrates the traditions of star studies and industry studies to establish an original and innovative mode of analysis whereby the 'star image' is replaced with the 'star brand'  Offers the first extensive analysis of stardom in the 'post-studio' era;  Combines genre, narrative, acting, and discourse analysis with aspects of marketing theory and the economic analysis of the film market;  Draws on an extensive body of research data not previously deployed in film scholarship;  A wide range of star examples are explored including George Clooney, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Daniel Day-Lewis, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, and Julia Roberts  "--

Sommario/riassunto

This book contains four keynote abstracts and 83 best peer-reviewed papers selected from the 179 submissions at the 2nd International Conference on Advances in ICT (ICTA 2023), which share research results and practical applications in ICT research and education.



Technological changes and digital transformation that have taken place over the past decade have had significant impacts on all economic and social sectors. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in general and artificial intelligence (AI) in particular have driven socio-economic growth. The topics cover all ICT-related areas and their contributions to socio-economic development, focusing on the most advanced technologies, such as AI. Researchers and practitioners in academia and industry use the books as a valuable reference for their research activities, teaching, learning, and advancing current technologies. The Conference is hosted by Thai Nguyen University of Information and Communication Technology (ICTU).
