Double-weighted statement
Hollywood Stardom (approximately 107,000 words) challenges the focus on the textual construction of ‘star images’ which has dominated star studies by arguing any understanding of film stardom must look beyond issues of meaning to recognize how stars are always both economic and symbolic, or commercial and cultural, entities. This broad conceptual argument is set within the particular historical circumstances of the Hollywood film business in the decades 1990 to 2010. Research for this book was principally conducted through nine visits over five years to the research library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles.
