      Hm, that doesn't seem to fit with Lessig and others' arguments about the music industry suing people who use remix?
  • “appropriation” never completely left its original art world context where it was coined.
  • I think that “remixing” is a better term anyway because it suggests a systematic re-working of a source, the meaning which “appropriation” does not have

  • In his book DJ Culture Ulf Poschardt singles out different stages in the evolution of remixing practice
  • Around the turn of the century (20tth to 21st) people started to apply the term “remix” to other media besides music: visual projects, software, literary texts

    Useful short article by Lev Manovich, who is a prominent scholar of digital culture, about the history of remix and its relationship to other related practices in art and literature (appropriation, quoting, montage, etc). Read this!
