Border Crossings in Contemporary Asian Celebrity and Fandom
About this book
With chapters written by interdisciplinary scholars from across Asia, this book decolonizes the field of Celebrity Studies through an Asia-centric approach to understanding stardom. Exploring national and transnational contexts, the book examines stars such as Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Chan, South Korea's Park Shin-hye and BTS among others, as well as phenomena such as internet celebrity couples, livestreamers and K-Pop. Decolonizing Asian Celebrity examines how a celebrity culture that crosses borders helps shape transnational social and political life across the continent, from China and India, to South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines.
