Addressing the interart, intertextual, and intermedial dimensions
of David Bowie's sonic and visual legacy, this book considers more
than five decades of a career invested with a star's luminosity
that shines well beyond the remit of pop music. The book approaches
the idea of the star David Bowie as a medium in transit, undergoing
constant movement and change. Within the context of celebrity
studies, the concept of stardom provides an appropriate frame for
an examination of Bowie's transmedial activity, especially given
his ongoing iconic signification within the celestial realm. While
Bowie has traversed many mediums, he has also been described as a
medium, which is consistent with the way he has described himself.
With contributions from a wide range of disciplinary areas and
countries, each chapter brings a fresh perspective on the concept
of stardom and the conceptual significance of the terms 'mediation'
and 'navigation' as they relate to Bowie and his career. Containing
a multitude of different approaches to the stardom and mediation of
David Bowie, this book will be of interest to those studying
celebrity, audio and visual legacy, and the relationships between
different forms of media. It was originally published as a special
issue of Celebrity Studies.
