Abstract

Work on footballing stardom has struggled with positioning on-field performance within the image of notable players. This is mainly born out of early scholarship that positioned the topic primarily within a celebrity studies framework, leading to a far greater concentration on footballers’ private lives away from the field of play.Footnote1 This paper argues that the closely related, but meaningfully different, star studies framework (traditionally applied to analyse film stardom) provides a more appropriate model for interpreting footballing fame. Unlike celebrity studies, which does not separate the on-screen (or on-field) from the off-screen (or off-field) image, star studies positions the relationship between the two identities as more central to forming the overall star persona. This article develops this approach based upon a case study analysis of Welsh footballer Gareth Bale.

让足球重新成为足球明星:加雷斯·贝尔成为国家足球“明星”的案例研究

足球明星的工作一直在努力将球场上的表现定位在著名球员的形象中。这主要源于早期的学术研究，将这个话题主要定位在名人研究框架内，导致人们更多地关注足球运动员在赛场之外的私人生活。脚注1本文认为，密切相关但意义不同的明星研究框架(传统上用于分析电影明星)为解释足球名气提供了更合适的模型。与明星研究不同的是，明星研究并没有将银幕上(或场上)的形象与银幕外(或场外)的形象分开，而明星研究则将这两种身份之间的关系定位为形成整体明星人格的更核心的部分。本文基于威尔士足球运动员加雷斯·贝尔的案例研究分析，开发了这种方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
