The magazine Cine en 7 Días (1961-1973) and the star system crisis. Images, characters and stories of movie stars
Abstract
For a long time motion picture magazines have been the main medium through which film stars have been made accessible to the general public. A great part of the studies about these stars use these magazines as the main source for information, together with the movies, but only on a few occasions are the publications themselves the focus of research. Through the analysis of the contents of the magazine Cine en 7 Días, this article reflects on the motion picture press as a vehicle to transmit advertising, informative or literary texts that feed the star cult.Downloads
