dc.description.abstractLagos is a recurrent theme in Nigerian music videos. Eromosele examines this phenomenon in relation to the objectives of the music video and the musician’s star image. Various studies involving emotion and forms of capital help to reveal how Lagos is appropriated into the iconography of music stars in ways that extend the city’s affective capital while serving the promotional aims of the music video. Capital is viewed chiefly as value accumulated through circulation and capable of being transubstantiated into different forms. The economic and political prominence of Lagos influences and is fed by the city’s affective power.en_US

Le pouvoir affectif de la ville alimente la proéminence économique et politique des influences de Lagos.en_US
dc.description.abstractA cidade de Lagos é um tema recorrente dos videoclipes musicais nigerianos. Eromosele analisa este fenómeno e a sua relação com os objetivos dos videoclipes de música e da imagem das celebridades musicais. Diversos estudos dedicados às emoções e às expressões capitalistas ajudam a a revelar o modo como Lagos se integrou na iconografia das celebridades da música de maneiras que extravasam o capital afetivo da cidade, ao mesmo tempo que servem os propósitos promocionais dos videoclipes musicais. O capital é primordialmente visto como o valor acumulado através da circulação e passível de se transubstanciar em diferentes formatos. A preeminência de Lagos influencia e é alimentada pelo poder afetivo da cidade.en_US
