It engages with debates on historical reception, gender and sexuality, nostalgia, authenticity and the uses of the past. Michael Williams gives fresh insights into ‘divinized stardom’, a highly influential and yet understudied phenomenon that predates Hollywood and continues into the digital age. .Case studies include Greta Garbo and .Mata Hari .(1931); Buster Crabbe and the 1930s Olympian body; the marketing of Rita Hayworth as Venus in the 1940s; sculpture and star performance in Oliver Stone’s .Alexander .(2004); landscape and sexuality in .Troy. (2004); digital afterimages of stars such as Marilyn Monroe; and the classical body in the contemporary ancient epic genre. The author’s richly layered ‘archaeological’ approach uses detailed textual analysis and archival research to survey the use of themyth and iconography of ancient Greece and Rome in some of stardom’s most popular and fascinating incarnations. .This interdisciplinary study will be significant for anyone interested in star studies, film and cultural history, and classical reception | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Hollywood stars; antiquity; Classical Hollywood; The ancient world; Greek gods; framing the past; Hollywoo | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-39002-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-39002-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
