Short description:
Nordic Music Videos fills a gap in the existing research on music videos by bringing together new perspectives on music videos across the Nordic region, from the academic to the practical, the aesthetic to the industrial, while addressing issues of local, transnational, and global significance.
The collection offers groundbreaking scholarly research into music videos, including critical readings of music videos, explorations of emerging formats, discussions of music video aesthetics and Nordic music videos in a global context and within popular culture. The book’s chapters are interdisciplinary explorations which recognise the strengths of specific areas of scholarly research, such as music video studies, audiovisual studies, popular music studies, and film/media studies, while nevertheless bridging disciplines and doing justice to the multimodal and intermedial nature of practices. Furthermore, the book includes the viewpoints of industry practitioners through interviews with artists and music video directors and research on industry-related issues.
The book is likely to be of interest to a variety of readers, ranging from researchers interested in popular music and audiovisual expression in the Nordic region to master’s level students and undergraduates. The industry angles and the focus on Nordic cultures will also interest anyone who wants to discover how music videos developed or influence Nordic societies.

What can we learn about the Nordic region if we pay close attention to its musical
sounds and visions? A lot, it turns out. This book elevates the conversation on
‘Nordicness’ to a new level of critical insight, and it does so by taking seriously the
audiovisual vernacular of our time: the music video, in its myriad forms. This
collection is truly a treasure trove for anyone interested in music videos and their
cultural significance in the Nordic region, from the pre-televisual rock films of the
1950s to emerging post-digital forms of the 2020s.
