Skillfully curated by Lori Burns and Stan Hawkins, this Handbook
engages with a wide range of music video, from punk, indie rock,
pop, country, R&B, and hip-hop to more experimental practices.
The authors use multimodal analysis and the theories of hypermedia
and transmedia to ensure cutting-edge analysis, while innovative
readings based on gender, race, and religion help situate music
video within its wider cultural, social, and political contexts.
From big-budget productions to low-fi work and animation, this
Handbook marks an exciting new turn for the study of Music
Video.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music Video Analysis is an
exciting collection of scholarship by both internationally renowned
and up-and-coming scholars working at the cutting edge of music
video studies. The essays here approach music video from a range of
theoretical and aesthetic perspectives--from country to extreme
metal, from the 1960s variety show to post-digital video, from
Justin Timberlake to Laurie Anderson, from fat studies to religious
studies: together these essays represent a stimulating and valuable
addition to the field.
