    When you press the button: read my lips on the right hand side, you can watch a series of remixed videos. Nr. 1 is the Bush-Blair love song. Nr. 2 is Silvio Berlusconi singing: Just a giggolo... all of them are political remixes. Lessig mentions the maker of those videos in his book.

    Innovations that drastically change/limit/replace the use of one technology/medium, much due to its offer of price reduction and new usability. Such innovations are named Disruptive Technologies and the term was coined by Clayton M. Christensen in his 1995 article Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave

Digital Culture Adventure - 2 views

  • Political remix video not criticize the way that mass media work, but it used them to send messages totally different from that which the media want to launch.
    • Jill Walker Rettberg
       
      Good point.
    • Jill Walker Rettberg
       
      Or at least an interesting assertion - I wonder if it's completely true? Probably?
  • the usage of  material that is already familiar to the public and has a certain amount of built in cultural meaning helps to create a more close relation with the public
  • Dennis G. Jez, a teacher from Pennsylvania
    • Jill Walker Rettberg
       
      If you call him "an American academic" or "a scholar who" or something like that it makes him sound more authoritative - and it's true, he's a researcher/academic at a university or college. Teacher sounds a bit like he's a high school teacher rather than a researcher. Also, his last name is Jerz, not Jez :)

Edwards/Tryon: Political video mashups as allegories of citizen empowerment - 0 views

  • Subsequently, inspired after watching another user’s mashup, still more users may choose to participate directly in remix culture, and produce their own video mashups. In terms of empowerment, these further acts of participation are crucial because they signify how users can become more active and more media literate with the online and off–line information they are consuming on a daily basis [4].
  • Just as in the case of a video camera in the hands of a video activist at a street rally, engaged online users can produce mashups as a means for political advocacy (tool), political protest (weapon), and political observation (witness).
  • Jill Walker Rettberg
     
    Scholarly article analysing three political video mashups: "When the viral video "Vote Different" broke into the mainstream media in March 2007, the political video mashup became a notable media phenomenon. User-generated mashups threatened to cut through the U.S. news clutter that typically shapes election discourse. In this paper, political video mashups are examined as allegories of citizen empowerment during the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Political video mashups can act as tools of political advocacy, forms of political protest, and modes of political commentary. Finally, though they are already being co-opted by mainstream political campaigns, the paper addresses the potential of mashups to re-interpret political messages in ways that may encourage the active re-framing of political issues among twenty-first century citizens."

iterating toward openness » Blog Archive » What's the Inverse of Remixing? Unmixing. - 1 views

  • Elisabeth Nesheim
     
    Dave Wiley introduces the notion of unmixing, as opposed to remixing. He states that since remixing includes a recontruction of meaning (references), and introduction of new references to sections of text, using a hypertext script would constitute something else, namely a unmix. (Hmmm)

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: Archives: If It Doesn't Spread, It's Dead (Part One): Media Viru... - 0 views

  • not passed on entirely 'intact'
    • Elisabeth Nesheim
       
      Here again Dawkins talk about memes not being high-fidelity replicators and that they "mutate", and it is not what is difference between mutations that represent the meme, rather the element that all mutations contain
  • how to throw the pot rather than the pot itself
    • Elisabeth Nesheim
       
      Maybe it is not about throwing the pot away, but changing the old pot with on that is easier to throw. 
      That the original meme is differentiated to such an extent that it has given rise to new memes, that still is part of the same meme-cluster

  • am making an argument
    for the cyborg as a fiction mapping our social and bodily reality and as
    an imaginative resource suggesting some very fruitful couplings
  • Identities seem contradictory, partial,
    and strategic. With the hard-won recognition of their social and historical
    constitution, gender, race, and class cannot provide the basis for belief
    in 'essential' unity. There is nothing about teeing 'female' that naturally
    binds women
  • not even such a state as 'being' female,

  • These sociobiological
    stories depend on a high-tech view of the body as a biotic component or
    cybernetic communications system.
  • take intense pleasure in machines, and then with excuses
    that this was organic activity after all, appropriate to females.
  • Our bodies, ourselves; bodies are maps of power
    and identity. Cyborgs are no exception
  • Intense pleasure
    in skill, machine skill, ceases to be a sin, but an aspect of embodiment.
    The machine is not an it to be animated, worshipped, and dominated. The
    machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment.

    Donna Haraway's referenced manifest describing the hybrid between man and machine, the Cyborg and uses this metaphor to discuss gender in terms of cultural constructions, (dis)connection to the body and identiy.

Richard Dawkins: "Memes, The New Replicators'' (chapter 11 of The Selfish Gene) - 0 views

  • I have been dissatisfied with explanations that
    my fellow-enthousiasts have offered for human behaviour.  They have tried
    to look for `biological advantages' in various attributes of human
    civilization
  • qualities
    that make for high survival value among memes.  But in general they must
    be the same as those discussed for the replicators of Chapter 2: longevity,
    fecundity, and copying-fidelity
    • Jill Walker Rettberg
       
      Qualities that make for high survival value among memes:
      - longevity
      - fecundity
      - copying-fidelity
      (Same as for genes)

  • It looks as though meme transmission is subject to
    continuous mutation, and also to blending. 
  • An `idea-meme' might be defined as an entity that is
    capable of being transmitted from one brain to another.
  • The human brain, and the body that it controls, cannot do
    more than one or a few things at once.  If a meme is to dominate the
    attention of a human brain, it must do so at the expense of `rival'
    memes.
