In this collection of essays, leading academics, critics, and
artists historicize collage and appropriation tactics that cut
across diverse media and genres. They take up issues of
appropriation in the popular and the avant-garde, in altered
billboards and the work of the renowned painter Chris Ofili, in
hip-hop and the compositions of Bela Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly, and
in audio mash-ups, remixed news broadcasts, pranks, culture
jamming, and numerous other cultural forms. The borrowing practices
that they consider often run afoul of intellectual property
regimes, and many of the contributors address the effects of
copyright and trademark law on creativity. Among the contributors
are the novelist and essayist Jonathan Lethem, the poet and
cultural critic Joshua Clover, the filmmaker Craig Baldwin, the
hip-hop historian Jeff Chang, the 'zine-maker and sound collage
artist Lloyd Dunn, and Negativland, the infamous collective that
was sued in 1991 for sampling U2 in a satirical sound collage.
"Cutting Across Media" is both a serious examination of collage and
appropriation practices and a celebration of their transformative
political and cultural possibilities.
