Summary

Many people have begun to talk about a possible end of the music video genre due to shifts in contexts of production and presentation. At the same time, disciplines such as visual, film and media studies, art and music-history have begun to realize that despite the age of the music video, it still lacks a well-defined and matching methodical approach for analyzing and discussing video clips.For the first time, this volume brings together different disciplines as well as journalists, museum curators, and gallery owners. Together they discuss the past and present of the music video and reflect upon suited methodological approaches to this genre that allows a glimpse into its future.
