From fan-generated content on Tik Tok to music videos, the contemporary media landscape is becoming ever more vast, spectacular, and intense. In The Media Swirl Carol Vernallis examines short-form audiovisual media-Beyonce’s Lemonade, brief sequences from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, Tik Tok challenges, You Tube mashups, commercials, and many other examples-to offer ways of understanding digital media. She analyzes music videos by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, and others to outline how sound and image enhance each other and shape a viewer’s mood. Responding to today’s political-media landscape through discussions of Fox News and Presidential inaugurations, Vernallis shows how a media literacy that exceeds newscasts and campaign advertising is central to engaging with the democratic commons. Forays into industry studies, neuroscience, and ethics also inform her readings. By creating our own content and knowing what corporations, the wealthy, and the government do through media, Vernallis contends, we can create a more just world.
