From ‘video essay’ to ‘video monograph’? Indy Vinyl as academic book
From ‘video essay’ to ‘video monograph’? Indy Vinyl as academic book
Abstract
Sarah Barrow argues that the video essay provides a ‘viable alternative to the academic book’. This article explores that claim, considering how a video essay-based project can pursue a single topic in the man-ner of a monograph. The case study is Indy Vinyl, my collection of video essays and writing about vinyl records in American Independ-ent Cinema. I argue that an approach informed by traditional schol-arly values should be augmented by more exploratory thinking, when moving from written to practice-based forms of film criticism.
