It encompasses a selection of individual personalities from the most iconic Bruce Lee, Michelle Yeoh, and Maggie Cheung to the not-yet-full-fledged Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jay Chou, and Tang Wei to the newest Fan Binging, Liu Yifei, Wen Ming-Na, and Sammi Cheng who are exemplary to the star-making practices in the designated sites of articulations. This volume notably pivots on specific phonic modalities ? spoken forms of tongues, manners of enunciation, styles of vocalization -- as means to mine ethnic and ideological underpinnings of Chinese stardom. By indicating a methodological shift from the visual-based to aural-based vectors, it asserts the phonic as a legitimate bearing that can generate novel vigor in the reimagination of Chineseness. By exhausting the critical affordability of the phonic, this book unravels the polemics of visuality and aurality, body and voice, as well as onscreen personae and offscreen existence, remapping the contours of the ethnic fame-making in the global mediascape. . 606 $aEthnology$xAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aAsia$xLanguages 606 $aMotion pictures$xAsia 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aFilm Theory 606 $aAsian Languages 606 $aAsian Film and TV 615 0$aEthnology$xAsia. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aAsia$xLanguages. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAsia. 615 14$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aFilm Theory. 615 24$aAsian Languages. 615 24$aAsian Film and TV. 676 $a791.092 700 $aLau$b Dorothy Wai Sim$0853701 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482961803321 996 $aReorienting Chinese stars in global polyphonic networks$91906124 997 $aUNINA
