Building on the work of star studies scholars, this collection
provides contextual analyses of off-screen representation, as well
as close textual analyses of films and star personas, thereby
offering an in-depth study of the Arab star as text and context of
Arab cinema. Using the tools of audience reception studies, the
collection will also look at how stars (of film, stage, screen and
new media) are viewed and received in different cultural contexts,
both within and outside of the Arabic-speaking world. Arab cinema
is often discussed in terms of political representation and
independent art film, but rarely in terms of stardom, glamour,
performance or masquerade. Aside from a few individual studies on
female stardom or aspects of Arab masculinity, no major
English-language study on Arab stardom exists, and collections on
transnational stars or world cinema also often neglect to include
Arab performers. This new book seeks to address this gap by
providing the first study dedicated entirely to stardom on the Arab
screen. Structured chronologically and thematically, this
collection highlights and explores Arab film, screen and music
stars through a transnational and interdisciplinary set of
contributions that draw on feminist, performance and film theories,
media studies, sound studies, material culture, queer star and
celebrity studies, and social media studies.
