商品描述
Pop stars have provided audiences with performative moments that have become ingrained in popular consciousness. They are a lens through which deeper understandings about race, gender, politics, history and the artistic process can be understood. When combined with the most affective of mediums - cinema, the combination can be both thrilling and alarming.
From the relatively early days of cinema, figures from the world of popular music have made forays into acting and contributed cameo appearances. From Little Richard and Kylie Minogue to Nick Cave and Tom Waits, Pop Stars On Film: Popular Culture in a Global Market offers a collection of essays on some of the most influential international performances from a diverse range of cultural icons. The book considers industry shifts, access and diversity, but also the notion of cultural appropriation, audience appeal, marketing and demographics. Perhaps most importantly, the publication will look at what happens when cultures collide and coalesce.商品描述(中文翻譯)
流行音樂明星為觀眾提供了許多表演時刻,這些時刻已深深植入流行意識中。它們是理解種族、性別、政治、歷史和藝術過程的更深層次的視角。當這些與最具情感影響力的媒介——電影結合時,這種組合既令人興奮又令人警覺。
自電影的早期階段以來,來自流行音樂界的人物便開始涉足演藝,並貢獻了客串演出。從Little Richard和Kylie Minogue到Nick Cave和Tom Waits,Pop Stars On Film: Popular Culture in a Global Market提供了一系列關於一些最具影響力的國際表演的文章,這些表演來自多元文化的偶像。
本書考慮了產業變遷、可及性和多樣性,但也探討了文化挪用、觀眾吸引力、市場行銷和人口統計等概念。或許最重要的是,這本出版物將探討當文化碰撞和融合時會發生什麼。
