Klappentext zu „Stardom, Italian Style: Screen Performance and Personality in Italian Cinema “
Marcia Landy examines the history of Italian celebrity culture and ponders the changing qualities of stardom in the 20th and 21st centuries. She considers the historical conditions for the rise of stardom in the context of various media, from the silent era to contemporary media, tracking how stardom shapes national and international identities.The phenomenon of the diva in the early European cinema, the invention of new stars in the sound cinema, the postwar impact on stardom through the introduction of changing forms of narration in popular genres, and the contributions to the changing faces of stardom through the films and the personas of such auteurs as Rosselini, Visconti, Fellini, and Pasolini are examined in Stardom, Italian Style. Landy's genealogy of Italian star images identifies their connections to social history, landscape and geography, conceptions of femininity and masculinity, the physical and virtual body, regionalism, technology, and leisure.

Rezension zu „Stardom, Italian Style: Screen Performance and Personality in Italian Cinema “
"Marcia Landy has produced a wonderful and in many ways path-breaking examination of the history of Italian stardom from silent film to the present. . . . The book is rich in stimulating observations and thought-provoking propositions. As with other works by Professor Landy it is the fruit of an ideal blend of theoretical insights and historically-grounded film analysis." Ruth Ben-Ghiat, New York University
