Dorothy Wai Sim Lau is an Associate Professor at the Academy of Film, Hong Kong Baptist University. She is the author of Chinese Stardom in Participatory Cyberculture (2019), Reorienting Chinese Stars in Global Polyphonic Networks: Voice, Ethnicity, Power (2021), Celebrity Activism and Philanthropy in Asia: Toward a Cosmopolitical Imaginary (2024), and East Asian Auteurism, Cinephilia and the Media Platform Era: Film Authorship Rethought (2025).
If you're even remotely interested in Chinese cinema or digital media, I beseech you to read this book. Lau's analysis is diligent, smart, and she writes with gimlet-eyed conviction. The proposition that fans create meaning out of their virtual interactions with popular stars is thoroughly tested on this proving ground.--Julian Stringer, University of Nottingham Lau's book valuably contributes to a growing body of literature nudging film theory beyond the filmic. This, then, is film theory for the twenty-first century: it acknowledges (and hypothesizes about) the impact of Web culture on all aspects of cinema, from the manufacture of star personae to new viral forms of film distribution and promotion.--Gary Bettinson ""The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory""
