ENGFLM 1482 - THE STAR SYSTEM AND THE MOVIES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will deal with all aspects of the phenomenon of stardom in film: the production of stars, film acting, and fandom. This is not a course on any particular star, but we will use case studies of individual stars for our weekly focus. We will draw on film examples from the old Hollywood studio system as well as from post-studio films and popular culture. A particular emphasis of the course will be differences between male and female star images. In addition, we will survey a variety of recent approaches to star studies through assigned readings.
