Zusatztext More than a decade after MTV dropped ‘music television’ from its logo, the music video as cultural object has moved from the postmodern flow of linear television to digital platforms and other spaces of exhibition. Introducing the concept of ‘music video traffic,’ Traveling Music Videos presents fifteen essays that use productive case studies to follow the music video in its trajectory across various media, from YouTube and TikTok to art galleries and video games. Moreover, Traveling Music Videos demonstrates the continued relevance of the music video as an object of cultural analysis in the study of music and media, both aesthetically and politically.

Klappentext Traveling Music Videos offers a new interdisciplinary perspective on how contemporary music videos travel across, shape, and transform various media, online platforms, art institutions, and cultural industries worldwide. With the onset of digital technologies and the proliferation of global video-sharing websites at the beginning of the 21st century, music video migrated from TV screens to turn instead to the internet, galleries, concert stages, and social media. As a result, its aesthetics, technological groundings, and politics have been radically transformed. From the kinaesthetic experience of TikTok to the recent reimaginations of maps and navigation tools through music video cartographies, from the ecofeminist voices mediated by live-stream concerts to the transmedia logic of video games and VR, from the videos' role in contemporary art galleries to their political interventions -the chapters map the ways music video is continually reconfiguring itself. The volume tracks music video's audiovisual itineraries across different geographies, maps its transmedia routes, and tackles the cultural impact that it has on our current media ecosystem .
