How can we engage critically with music video and its role in
popular culture? What do contemporary music videos have to tell us
about patterns of cultural identity today? Based around an eclectic
series of vivid case studies, this fresh and timely examination is
an entertaining and enlightening analysis of the forms, pleasures,
and politics that music videos offer. In rethinking some classic
approaches from film studies and popular music studies and
connecting them with new debates about the current 'state' of
feminism and feminist theory, Railton and Watson show why and how
we should be studying music videos in the twenty-first century.
Through its thorough overview of the music video as a visual
medium, this is an ideal textbook for Media Studies students and
all those with an interest in popular music and cultural studies.
Key Features * Provides a framework for how to describe and analyse
a music video. * Uses case studies from internationally well-know
artists, such as Kylie, Shakira and Beyonce to explore issues of
representation of gender, sexuality and ethnicity. * Draws on
classic and contemporary videos from a range of musical styles,
from Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera to Gorillaz and Metallica.
