In \u003ci\u003eThe Media Swirl\u003c\/i\u003e Carol Vernallis examines short-form audiovisual media-Beyoncé's \u003ci\u003eLemonade\u003c\/i\u003e, brief sequences from Baz Luhrmann's \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eGreat Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e, TikTok challenges, YouTube mashups, commercials, and many other examples-to offer ways of understanding digital media. She analyzes music videos by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monáe, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Vernallis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478019069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478019060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023","brand":"Carol Vernallis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579756036351,"sku":"9781478019060","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7d3c528-5a88-4e74-8f27-478e673ecc9d.jpg?v=1763876429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-media-swirl-carol-vernallis-9781478019060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
