VIEWING >> COPY • TRANSFORM • COMBINE DISCUSSION Remix, Appropriation Art and Mashups // Cultural Appropriation // Cultural Syncretism // Plagiarism (37 min)
Definitions: Remix: A remix is a piece of media which has been altered or contorted from its original state by adding, removing, and changing pieces of the item. A song, piece of artwork, books, video, poem, or photograph can all be remixes. The only characteristic of a remix is that it appropriates and changes other materials to create something new.
Cultural appropriation, at times also phrased cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures.
Cultural syncretism is when distinct aspects of different cultures blend together to make something new and unique. Since culture is a wide category, this blending can come in the form of religious practices, architecture, philosophy, recreation, and even food.
Plagiarism: the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
