This book analyzes the establishment and transformation of the transnational film star system and the formations of historically important film stars--Japanese and non-Japanese--and casts new light on Japanese modernity as it unfolded between the 1910s and 1930s. Hideaki Fujiki illustrates how film stardom and the star system emerged and evolved, touching on such facets as the production, representation, circulation, and reception of performers' images in films and other media. Examining several individual performers--particularly benshi narrators, Onoe Matsunosuke, Tachibana Teijir?, Kurishima Sumiko, Clara Bow, and Natsukawa Shizue--as well as certain aspects of different star systems that bolstered individual stardom, this study foregrounds the associations of contradictory, multivalent social factors that constituted modernity in Japan, such as industrialization, capitalism, colonialism, nationalism, and consumerism. Through its nuanced treatment of the production and consumption of film stars, this book shows that modernity is not a simple concept, but an intricate, contested, and paradoxical nexus of diverse social elements emerging in their historical contexts. 410 0$aHarvard University Studies in East Asian Law ;$v79. 517 3 $aTransnational Film Stardom in Modern Japan 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zJapan 606 $aMotion pictures$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States 606 $aFame$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$xAmerican influences 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aFame$xHistory 676 $a791.430952 700 $aFujiki$b Hideaki$01575872 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798554503321 996 $aMaking Personas$93853226 997 $aUNINA
