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.

The first in-depth study of David Bowie’s music videos across a
sustained period takes on interweaving storyworlds of an iconic
career. Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery,
Bowie’s videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and
remediation of music video. When their construction is examined
across several years, they appear as time-travelling vessels,
transporting kooky characters and strange story-world components
across time and space. By charting Bowie’s creative and
collaborative process across five distinct phases, David Bowie and
the Art of Music Video shows how he played a vital role in
establishing music video as an artform. Filling a gap in the
existing literature, this book shines a light on the significant
contributions of directors such as Mick Rock, Stanley Dorfman and
David Mallet, each of whom taught Bowie much about how to use the
form. By examining Bowie's collaborative process, his use of
surrealist strategies and his integration of avant-garde art with
popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video
in relation to the broader fields of audiovisual media, visual
music and art.
Transmedia Directors focuses on artist-practitioners who work
across media, platforms and disciplines, including film,
television, music video, commercials and the internet. Working in
the age of media convergence, today's em/impresarios project a
distinctive style that points toward a new contemporary aesthetics.
The media they engage with enrich their practices - through film
and television (with its potential for world-building and sense of
the past and future), music video (with its audiovisual aesthetics
and rhythm), commercials (with their ability to project a message
quickly) and the internet (with its refreshed concepts of audience
and participation), to larger forms like restaurants and amusement
parks (with their materiality alongside today's digital
aesthetics). These directors encourage us to reassess concepts of
authorship, assemblage, transmedia, audiovisual aesthetics and
world-building. Providing a vital resource for scholars and
practitioners, this collection weaves together insights about
artist-practitioners' collaborative processes as well as strategies
for composition, representation, subversion and resistance.
