Remix Theory » Remix Defined - 0 views

  • three types of remixes. The first remix is extended, that is a longer version of the original song containing long instrumental sections making it more mixable for the club DJ
  • The second remix is selective; it consists of adding or subtracting material from the original song
  • The third remix is reflexive; it allegorizes and extends the aesthetic of sampling, where the remixed version challenges the aura of the original and claims autonomy even when it carries the name of the original; material is added or deleted, but the original tracks are largely left intact to be recognizable
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • An example from art history in which key codes of the Selective Remix are at play is Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain (1917)

Roland Barthes: The Death of the Author. Aspen no. 5+6, 1967. - 0 views

  • Who is speaking in this way? Is it the story's hero, concerned to ignore the castrato concealed beneath the woman? Is it the man Balzac, endowed by his personal experience with a philosophy of Woman? Is it the author Balzac, professing certain "literary" ideas of femininity? Is it universal wisdom? or romantic psychology?
  • all writing is itself this special voice, consisting of several indiscernible voices, and that literature is precisely the invention of this voice, to which we cannot assign a specific origin: literature is that neuter, that composite, that oblique into which every subject escapes, the trap where all identity is lost, beginning with the very identity of the body that writes.
  • in primitive societies, narrative is never undertaken by a person, but by a mediator, shaman or speaker, whose "performance" may be admired (that is, his mastery of the narrative code), but not his "genius"
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • linguistically, the author is never anything more than the man who writes, just as I is no more than the man who says I: language knows a "subject," not a "person,"
  • once the Author is discovered, the text is "explained:

  • Once the Author is gone, the claim to "decipher" a text becomes quite useless.
  • To give an Author to a text is to impose upon that text a stop clause, to furnish it with a final signification, to close the writing

      Very close to Foucault's analysis in What is an Author? (1970)
  • utterly transforms the modern text
  • he reign of the Author should also have been that of the Critic,
  • by refusing to assign to the text (and to the world as text) a "secret:'
  • no one (that is, no "person") utters it:
  • he true locus of writing is reading.
  • the reader is a man without history, without biography, without psychology; he is only that someone who holds gathered into a single field all the paths of which the text is constituted.

THE DEATH OF THE AUTHOR - ROLAND BARTHES - Athenaeum Library of Philosophy - 0 views

  • The image of literature to be found in ordinary culture is tyrannically centred on the author, his person, his life, his tastes, his passions,
  • Once the Author is removed, the claim to decipher a text becomes quite futile.

    A great video. A world made only with typographics. Is that a remix culture? I hope you like it!

    Oh, I love this. I'm not sure whether it's remix - that would depend on your definition. It certainly repurposes letters/words in an interesting way. I'm intrigued by whether or not this is "literature", too. The story itself is rather simplistic, but it's so beautiful to watch, almost more visual art/poetry/music than narrative, although there IS a narrative there. Interesting too that it's made "for a DJ". That suggests that the music and the FEELING are the focus here? Thanks, Thais!
