      abstract = {"When examining YouTube by way of metaphors such as the  archive, the medium or the laboratory, one is immediately  confronted with a number of inherent (and not easily  solvable) conflicts and problems vying for more detailed  answers. How does, for instance, the practice of open  access relate to traditional archival standards, legal  constraints, "old" media distribution and the  entrepreneurial interests of the Google subsidiary? To what  extent do clip aesthetics challenge traditional notions of,  for example, textuality, episodic and serial narrative,  documentary forms and also the very basic requirements of  teaching and research? And what about the relationships  between free-for-download video and mobile devices, between  mashup software and patented hardware? How does the promise  of empowering the "broadcasters of tomorrow" (YouTube)  correspond to the realities of careers in broadcasting and  film, to fan participation and management strategies? And  finally: if YouTube is to be regarded as the world's  largest archive, how do the texts and practices associated  with its use work for and against cultural memory?" --  Introduction (p. 17).},
