In this week’s podcast we’ll be questionning how our works depend, and have been depending all along, on preexisting material.<br>
Is everything a remix?<br>
To what extent are we the authors of our work?<br>
In what ways do we own it ? <br>
<br>
authorship<br>
/ˈɔːθəʃɪp/<br>
noun<br>
the state or fact of being the writer of a book, article, or document, or the creator of a work of art.<br>
<br>
ownership<br>
/ˈəʊnəʃɪp/<br>
noun<br>
the act, state, or right of possessing something.<br>
<br>
We’ll explore the frictions between the concepts of authorship and ownership, and the ways in which they can be redefined in the context of contemporary cultural production.
