Remix Reading And Composing Culture

Students live in a "remix culture" -- a do-it-yourself, collaborative, and creative culture in which they are the writers, designers, and creators. "ReMix" brings this creativity to the composition classroom by asking students to investigate the world around them, to question the assumptions behind everyday concepts such as identity, community, and technology, and to compose meaningful verbal and visual texts that speak to the culture they live in. With a mix of humor and analysis, "ReMix" inspires students to ask: Why do I think the way I do? What is my relationship to the culture around me? Am I truly, as one advertisement claims, "my playlist"? At last, here is a cultural studies reader that students will want to respond to.Latterell, Catherine is the author of 'Remix Reading And Composing Culture', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312430184 and ISBN 0312430183.
