- Abstract
- This dissertation is the first ethnographic study of mashups and the mashup community. I have tried to represent the music and its makers on their own terms in hopes of fostering a sense of understanding and respect. In addition to documenting an important genre of popular music and highlighting the stories and opinions of a vibrant community of producers and fans, I advance several important arguments concerning the production and reception of contemporary popular music. Additionally, I argue that web-based communities are emergent and that current theorizing about community form and function needs to incorporate the insights that can be gained by looking at models like the mashup community. I reframe the commonly accepted notion that the act of remixing is a form of resistance, and demonstrate how ethnographic insights provide a level of nuance that is often missing from studies of popular music and popular culture. I also argue that, in an effort to negotiate the troubled relationship between mashups and copyright, mashup producers have developed an alternative set of rules about authorship and authentic artistic production.
