ARTH 2774 - Stardom and American Film

This course examines the role of stardom and star performance in American cinema from the silent era to the 1960s. Using art history, cultural studies and film criticism, we will explore topics such as visions of stardom, constructions and subversions of star identity, and the ways in which the media of film actively constructs how we look at and respond to stars as cultural and pictorial icons.
