Rocking Around the Clock by E Ann Kaplan

Ann Kaplan examines the cultural context of MTV and its relationship to the history of rock music. The first part of the book focuses on MTV as a commerical institution. In the second, Kaplan identifies five distinct types of video. There are detailed analyses of videos by Bruce Springsteen, Billy Idol, Paul Young, Madonna, Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, and Aretha Franklin, and discussion of many more. Kaplan focuses particularly on gender issues in videos by both male and female stars.

E. Ann Kaplan is professor of English and Comparative Literature and Director of the Humanities Institute at the Stony Brook University. She is the author of many books and articles, including several on feminism and film.

Ban Wang is a professor of Asian Studies at Rutgers University and the author of The Sublime Figure of History: Aesthetics and Politics in Twentieth-Century China (Stanford University Press, 1997).
