Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Film Science, grade: 1, 0, University of Hamburg (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Remix Cultures (MA Seminar), language: English, abstract: This is the second paper in a series of studies on Remix Culture, which applies the theoretical background of understanding remix and mashup to Roberto Voorbij’s short film One Minute Silence in terms of its formal and ideological strategies.
The main focus of this paper will be on the ideological and political dimension of critical remix practices. It will focus on appropriation as the ideological strategy of certain remix practices. A working definition of appropriation will be derived from one of the most influential publications on the topic by Julie Sanders. This understanding of appropriation will then be contextualized in the field of remix studies.
