#### Where is the Star?: Special Issue of *Celebrity Studies Journal* (eds. Martin Shingler and Lindsay Sternberg)\* {#where-is-the-star-special-issue-of-celebrity-studies-journal-eds.-martin-shingler-and-lindsay-sternberg}

The *Celebrity Studies* Journal is planning a special issue on film
stars and stardom, co-edited by Martin Shingler and Lindsay Steenberg.
This will explore the current state of celebrity studies and celebrity
media culture by focussing specifically on the work of film stars within
this arena.

Given accessible platforms such as Instagram and Twitter permitting new
forms of celebrity and notoriety, to what extent do film stars remain
integral to public perceptions of fame across the globe?

With contemporary transnational media culture in mind, this special
issue aims to take stock of the concept of film stardom in relation to
celebrity by asking the basic question, 'where is the star?'

Essays of either 3500-4000 or 7000-8000 are sought that examine how film
stars function as celebrities in various parts of the world and
transnationally. This includes some studies of individual stars. Other
essays might usefully consider theoretical and methodological approaches
to film stardom for understanding and investigating how film stars
operate within the wider arena of contemporary global celebrity.

If this is of interest to you, please submit an abstract of 250 words
and a brief biographic statement to
[wheresthestar@gmail.com](mailto:wheresthestar@gmail.com){.moz-txt-link-abbreviated
target="_blank"} by November 3rd 2017.

We will be in contact with prospective contributors in early December
2017.
