Star Persona


Star persona hft from longroadmediastudies

Richard Dyer - Star Theory

A star - when interest in their personal life outweighs interest in their profession.

Start image is constructed out of a range of materials.
Stars 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.
A star persona is fragile & can be broken at any time.
