Stars in Our Eyes
Author: Angela Ndalianis

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2002-03-30
The media star has become a powerful, almost unparalleled, cultural sign, even as the star system has undergone radical transformation since the era of the Hollywood studio system. Today's film industry continues to market and promote its products through actors in ways that seek to capture the often elusive quality that a star can embody. Using contemporary stars such as Robert De Niro, Keanu Reeves, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Dennis Hopper, this anthology of essays applies a variety of theoretical tools in its attempt to understand how we interpret stars, and how we can begin to understand their cultural significance. Likewise, the study explores how the star system has become an increasingly complex phenomenon within society at large, extending its impact beyond the cinema into music, sports, and fashion. Many of the essays collected here consider this shift and examine how personae including the director (Sam Peckinpah), the royalty (Princess Diana) and even the digital star (Lara Croft) have captured the cultural imagination and have come to attain qualities as star-like as those of the silver screen.

Mohawk Rebel

Mohawk Rebel is an in-depth exploration of one of North America's most important Indigenous artists. Claire Raymond's compelling and well-researched book connects Niro's lineage as a Turtle Clan woman to the artist's oeuvre that evokes and represents the Mohawk people's memory of and continuing relationship to the land now called New York State. With profound allegorical and metaphorical power, Niro's virtuosic photographic and filmic works create layered temporal tapestries that weave the past and present in a new vision. The book offers fresh interpretations of many of Niro's best-known works and brings into view some of her earlier lesser-known works. Raymond's sensitive and nuanced interpretations of Niro's art ultimately contend that Niro's work agitates subtly but unmistakably for the ethical rightness of the land-back movement. Raymond eloquently argues that this Mohawk artist's relationship to New York State is one of rightful claim.
