Star Analysis


Star persona Q1 21 from longroadmediastudies

Richard Dyer - Star Theory

A star - when interest in their personal outweighs interest in their profession.
Star image is constructed out of a range of materials (films/posters/videos/magazines).
Star represent shared cultural values e.g. being thin, fashion trend, religion.
We get the idea of what we should be like from stars.
Some stars support Hegemony by conforming to the ideal.
Celebrity magazines compare us or encourage us to conform to the ideal.
Star persona is fragile and can be broken at any time.
