Music videos have been shaped by the aesthetics of the audiovisual moving picture genres of the last 100 years. They go far beyond the illustrative and commercial functions of the music videos of the 1980s, taking up avant-garde and current practices of image configuration. This volume inquires into the potential of music videos to posit discourses, reinterpret them in pop culture, and bring about the hybridization of media and cultural formats.
