Remix Literacy
摘要
Remix contributes to creativity in literacy practices when people curate, sample, combine, and blend existing cultural artefacts into new forms and products. Remixing involves understanding literacy as fluid and manipulable. Remixing is an active process of not just consuming but producing cultural artefacts. Remix practice requires a critical approach to deconstructing multimodal elements and assembling these elements into new, meaningful products. The practice is not new, and it is not necessarily limited only to digital products. Frequently, remix practice is framed as an informal literacy practice for only some more dedicated fans, readers or those with technical skills. However, the abundance and ease of access to digital resources mean everyone can now manipulate and recontextualise a wider range of media and share them with a wider audience. Remix literacy is now more valued in classroom contexts through digital multimodal composing. Situating remix literacy as a language learning practice requires attention to pedagogical practices for creativity, with challenges emerging around new technologies such as generative AI.
