Star theory introduced by Richard
Dyer, a professor at University of Warwick in 1979. This theory remains apply
widely in star image analysis. According to Richard Dyer’s Heavenly Bodies,
“stars matter because they act out aspects of life that matter to us; and
performers get to be stars when what they act out matters to enough people”, (Dyer,
1986). In more simple way, it means that how society nowadays makes a star and
how the society we live now influence by star.
Based on Richard Dyer Stars theory,
it basically separated into three distinct types which are
- Stars as constructed social phenomena
- Stars as commoditized images
- Stars as reflective signs of cultural ideology
