"In The Media Swirl, longtime music video scholar Carol Vernallis focuses on brief
audiovisual media-heightened film segments, music videos, trailers, commercials, TikTok,
Instagram, and political advertising and newscasts-to provide a toolkit for citizens
wanting to participate in our moment. The book offers techniques for reading digital
media and audiovisual relations, with close readings of movies like The Great Gatsby
(2013) and Transformers 4 (2014), music videos by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Janelle
Monáe, and TikTok and YouTube videos. Throughout the book Vernallis argues for the
importance of spectacle and its utopic possibilities, refusing to allow spectacle
to be claimed by negative attachments. The Media Swirl also seeks to pause and reconsider
ethical commitments, especially in light of changing technological regimes, social
formations, and understandings of what it means to be human. The book then pivots
to new techniques and areas for reading digital media and audiovisual relations, including
politics and science. Acknowledging our media landscape's too-muchness, this book
claims that through multiple approaches, we can engage with the commons"
