Remixthebook<\/strong>:

I don’t watch much television, but I will admit here that I do watch one show religiously: Glee. That’s right – I’m a total Gleek, and I’m not ashamed. Of course the story lines are riveting, and the singing is pretty awesome. However, one of my favorite things about the teen dram-com is the song selection, and more specifically, the mashups. This week’s featured title dives into the culture of putting your own spin on the original.<\/p>\n

Amerika, an art and art history professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, pushes the envelope with his latest work. Remixthebook<\/em>, as explained in the introduction, is more of the print version that grew out of a multimedia project from his Professor VJ blog<\/a>. The digital technology revolution has not only given people access to information, it has given them power to manipulate it and make it their own. The author\/creator does this as well, remixing the work of the likes of Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. This book also serves as a call to everyone to collaborate in the discourse of mashing up popular culture, through the book’s companion website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
