>ABOUT THIS BOOK
>This volume brings together cutting-edge thinkers and scholars (Henry
>Jenkins, Mizuku Ito, David Gauntlett) together with young researchers
>and students, proposing a colourful spectrum of media-theoretical,
>-practical and -educational approaches to current creative practices and
>techniques of production and consumption on and off the web. Along with
>the exploration of some of the emerging social media concepts, the book
>unveils some of the key drivers leading to participatory engagement of
>the User.
>
>Mashup Cultures presents a broader view of the effects and consequences
>of current remix practices and the recombination of existing digital
>cultural content. The complexity of this book, which appears on the
>occasion of the fifth anniversary of the international MA study program
>ePedagogy Design ⬠Visual Knowledge Building, also by necessity seeks to
>familiarize the reader with a profound glossary and vocabulary of Web
>2.0 cultural techniques.
