Sampling the Future: Appropriation in Recent Literature and Media
This panel will consider the politics and aesthetics of sampling broadly
construed as a mode of discursive appropriation within
late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature and media. While
sampling is well-established as a methodology of cultural production,
recent innovations and transformations within culture and technology have
revised the terms within which we might consider sampling as a subject for
critical analysis. Possible topics for consideration in this field might
include, but are by no means limited to:
--The impact of digitalization on sampling
--Sampling in a cross-cultural/global context
--Sampling between literature(s), between literature and other media,
between multiple media
--Sampling and performance
--Questions of source material (e.g., conceptions of high and low culture)
--The role of sampling within particular literary genres or traditions
Abstracts of approximately 500 words should be sent to the session
chair (preferably via email) by July 15, 2003:
