Description
Summary:The visual album represents a new communicative artifact originated with the logic of the transmedia context in its expansion of the music video clip format. Three case studies are analyzed, using multimodal analysis to know the meaning and contribution of visual materials, looking for elements of intertextuality and repetition of motifs and visual patterns for the realization of a storytelling. The conclusions point to three different paths in the construction of a self-expressive representation of the artists, thanks to a visualized performativity and materialized in a greater intertextuality and use of cultural appropriation.
