“…This reworking is often referred to as bricolage, a form of sculpture that is based on the "creative reassembly of already-significant elements" (Lee, 2020). Such mixing and remixing is a widespread phenomenon (Navas & Gallagher, 2014), in which material is transformed, reused and reconstituted to deliver new values, often through participatory processes (Munro et al, 2023).…”

“…However, by singling out two key concepts-appropriation and authorshipfrom earlier remix research as the primary tools for our analysis, we aspire for a detailed examination of countermedia as opposed to a general evaluation of the compatibility between our theoretical and empirical material. The concept of appropriation is applied as an overall tool to analyse how the new works comment, critique, recontextualise, or explicitly disregard the content and aesthetics of the source material (Navas et al, 2015b). In analysing authorship, our approach is on a more ideological level, as we scrutinise the implications of naming or neglecting to name authors.…”

“…The concept of remix has been used to describe a variety of, most often, artistic practices that appropriate and recombine existing media content to create new works. A common feature in its application has been questioning the authority of discrete authored works, often in conjunction with a call to democratise cultural production from dominant (economic) institutions in favour of the amateur (Gunkel, 2016;Navas et al, 2015b). Remix is, as such, not only a theory of appropriation but also a concept that describes a larger ideological position brought about with digital media technology.…”

This article outlines a first attempt at analysing counter-media publishing through the lens of remix theory. We concentrate on two key concepts—appropriation and authorship—which have a permanent standing in the remix research literature. To support our theoretical analysis, we investigate the coverage of two cases in the Finnish right-wing counter-media online publication <em>MV-lehti</em>. Our findings enable new readings on the nature of both counter-media work and remix culture. In fact, counter-media publishing leans more in the direction of remix culture—which is based on the act of using pre-existing materials to produce something new—than towards traditional journalistic convention, with its rules and ethical guidelines. <em>MV-lehti</em>’s practice of combining and layering different material is discernibly political, often resembling media activism. Our study provides the argument that counter to the utopian democratising assumptions of remix culture, the proliferation of remix practices has also given antidemocratic actors the means to challenge collectively and institutionally supported ideas of knowledge and justice. Counter-media publishing is perhaps democratising in that it offers the means to participate, but these antagonistic actors also remix news to undermine liberal-democratic ideals and social justice. Evidently, remix practices can be co-opted for a reactionary agenda.

“…This paper considers the musical creativity of DJing practice from the perspective of Human Information Behaviour. Information Science research into music has so far not considered DJs, however, the practice of DJing can be viewed as musically creative, with remixing practices at its core (Navas and Gallagher, 2014), and as a rich vein of novel perspective for the field. Parallels have also been drawn between the practice of DJing and of information professionals, such as librarians, in their synthesising of information for others (Kumasi, 2018).…”

“…Remixing practices are widespread in our contemporary and participatory culture (Navas and Gallagher, 2014), including but not limited to DJing, visual arts, video games, genetic engineering, food and more. DJs critically deconstruct, transform, contrast, reuse, reconstitute and combine music to produce novel creative outputs that deliver new value.…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the information behaviour of creative DJs, a group previously not considered from the perspective of information studies. The practice of DJing is a musically creative process, where a performance can draw on a vast range of music to create a unique listening and dancing experience. The authors study what are the information behaviour processes involved in creative DJing and what roles embodied information play in DJing practice.Design/methodology/approachFrom a set of semi-structured interviews with 12 experienced DJs in Scotland, UK, that were subjected to inductive thematic analysis, the authors present a model of how DJs undergo the process of planning, performing and evaluating a DJ performance.FindingsFrom this study, a model of creative DJs’ information behaviour is presented. This three-stage model describes the information behaviours and critical factors that influence DJs’ planning, decision-making and verification during the pre-performance, performance and post-performance stages, with particular emphasis on DJs’ performances as a rich site of embodied information interactions.Originality/valueThis research provides insight into a new activity in information behaviour, particularly in the use of embodied information, and presents a model for the information behaviour of creative DJs. This opens the way for future studies to consider minorities within the activity, the audience as opposed to the performer, as well as other creative activities where physicality and performance are central.
