Book Description
In the past stars have been studied as cogs in a mass entertainment industry selling desires and ideologies. But since the 1970s, new approaches have reopened debate, as film and cultural studies try to account for the active role of the star in producing meanings, pleasures, and identites for a diversity of audiences. Stardom brings together for the first time some of the major writing of the last decade which seeks to understand the phemomenon of stars and stardom. Gathered under four headings - The System, Stars and Society, Performers and Signs, Desire and Politics - these essays represent a range of approaches drawn from film history, sociolgy, textual analysis, audience research, psychoanalysis, and cultural politics. They raise important issues about the politics of representation and the cultural limitations and possibilities of stars.

Book Description
Today, we are so accustomed to consuming the amplified lives of film stars that the origins of the phenomenon may seem inevitable in retrospect. But the conjunction of the terms "movie" and "star" was inconceivable prior to the 1910s. Flickers of Desire explores the emergence of this mass cultural phenomenon, asking how and why a cinema that did not even run screen credits developed so quickly into a venue in which performers became the American film industry's most lucrative mode of product individuation. Contributors chart the rise of American cinema's first galaxy of stars through a variety of archival sources--newspaper columns, popular journals, fan magazines, cartoons, dolls, postcards, scrapbooks, personal letters, limericks, and dances. The iconic status of Charlie Chaplin's little tramp, Mary Pickford's golden curls, Pearl White's daring stunts, or Sessue Hayakawa's expressionless mask reflect the wild diversity of a public's desired ideals, while Theda Bara's seductive turn as the embodiment of feminine evil, George Beban's performance as a sympathetic Italian immigrant, or G. M. Anderson's creation of the heroic cowboy/outlaw character transformed the fantasies that shaped American filmmaking and its vital role in society.

Book Description
Policy and Change in Thatcher's Britain presents an integrated analysis of the changing policy impacts of the Thatcher decade using various different aspects of critical social theory. The study first parallels the directions taken by successive Thatcher governments with the paths taken by critical social theorists in the 1980s. This analysis shows not only that critical social theory can inform the interpretation of Thatcherism, but also that Thatcherism made such demands on social theory as to force changes in the theoretical agenda. More detail follows in an explanation and analysis of the employment of policy-making and planning by the state apparatus. The stress here is on the necessity of looking beyond the immediate policy arena in search of how and why policy changes occur. Further essays illuminate the effects of policy changes in particular systematic or spatial areas. The concluding section comments more generally on economic and social change under Thatcher, both stressing the unevenness of development with respective emphasis on both spatial and gender divisions of labour.
