Reviews

"With Sampling Media, David Laderman and Laurel Westrup have ushered in a monumental collection that extends and reroutes all previous discussions about sampling in the arts and culture. History, theory, law, technology and creative aesthetics are each explored with serious rigor, yet there is ample room here for the mirth and play that characterize the sampling sport. If you thought you knew what sampling is, this book will make you think again."
--Murray Forman, Media and Screen Studies, Northeastern University
"Sampling Media is a startlingly insightful collection that explores the wide array of cultural practices associated with sampling culture in all of its vibrant diversity. The essays, which cover a remarkable set of approaches to hybrid media practices from high art to pop culture, are assembled with the nuance and precision of any great playlist." --Virginia Kuhn, Associate Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California
