An unarmed conflict. Authorship experiences in contemporary Galician music video: Expériences de la paternité dans le vidéoclip galicien contemporain

Abstract

In the last two decades, some voices have applied the concept of authorship to music video. As it happened with cinema, this creates a conflict, as they identify an industrial work as a means of individual expression, but this expression clashes with the limitations originated by the demands of the record industry. In this article we tackle the issue of authorship in music video from some experiences in Galicia, a peripheral cultural system in which several determinants of the format in the mainstream field (where the study of music video is usually centered) disappear.
