Activities for 9/1

Note: Make sure your blog posts have titles! That way they're linkable on the blog stream... Second, make sure comments are enabled on your blog

Read blog posts about Tenner/Lethem and comment on as many as you can

As you respond, consider the following:
  • What do the readings say about authorship, voice, originality, creativity? In particular, what do they say about multimedia authorship?
  • Tenner speaks of the plagiosphere and its dangers. What does he mean by this? What are the dangers? Is he right, in your opinion?
  • Lethem speaks of "open source" culture; he also writes of "second use," "active reading," and the "already read." What does he mean by these things, do you think? What is he arguing for? Is his argument right, in your opinion, and why? Also, what views are being challenged here? What arguments about authorship etc. are Lethem in dialogue with?
  • Is it possible to remix something so that it becomes "you" and "yours"? Why or why not? Where does the author come in?


Present bookmarks. What is the site? How is it useful to us? Here is the brainstorming doc.
