• Sommario/riassunto: This volume of original essays fills a significant research gap in Chinese film studies by offering an interdisciplinary, comparative examination of ethnic Chinese film stars from the silent period to the era of globalization. Whereas studies of stars and stardom have developed considerably in the West over the past two decades, there is no single book in English that critically addresses issues related to stars and stardom in Chinese culture.Chinese Film Stars offers exemplary readings of historically, geographically and aesthetically multifaceted star phenomena.
