From 1950s Malay superstar Maria Menado to 2023 Golden Globe winner Michelle Yeoh, Starring Asian Feminities brings together a cross-disciplinary group of scholars to explore the variations and evolutions of Asian femaleness on-screen.
Exploring a range of genres and forms including Chinese "chick flicks" ("Xiaoniu Dianying"), K-Cinema, Bollywood and Asian American stardom in Hollywood, the book examines the confluence of gender and sexual identities of a range of Asian female stars and analyses what media conditions underlie the production of images of Asian femininities.
Through a range of case studies of these Asian female stars, Starring Asian Femininities confronts such questions as: how do Asian female stars transcend Western notions of fame, popularity and celebrity? What positions do they take on issues such as selfhood and identity? And how do they mediate conflicting ideological claims?
