"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
