Reading 10: Remix culture-CAI XIAOHUA

   (1) Summary 

This is a cultural phenomenon in which people combine, edit, and deconstruct like a mix to create a new work or product based on an original creation, which is called "secondary creation" or "re-creation. In fact, every netizen—that is, us—can be counted as creators.In fact, this creative culture is so wide that any form of participation can be regarded as secondary creation, which, because it retains many of the original settings or images, relies heavily on the cultural background and context.


（2）Interesting point 

We just stare at the mobile phone, look around, come across something that is suitable for imitation and transformation (called "stemmed" in Internet parlance), take it, make it into a catchphrase/short video/emoticon package and put it back on the Internet. Then they no longer belong to us, but are discovered by the next person, and the third and fourth creations are made, and finally form the "pop culture" we see now, and the emergence, evolution, and demise of pop culture, Or turn red again. If secondary creation forms such as film reviews, book reviews, and translations are not popular enough due to the existence of certain thresholds, then Internet-specific remix has almost no threshold at all, and almost everyone can create .


(3)Discussion

Buzzwords/emoticons

A considerable number of catchphrases and emoticons are extracted from an initial work or event. When they are used by us in various scenarios, they form a kind of "metaphor". 

Can you think of any other examples of remix culture?

    On Wikipedia, people collaborate on existing materials to create and refine entries and reprocess them online.It's also a remix culture.

 1. Summary The article argues that understanding Wikipedia requires appreciating its community and collaborative culture, but also recognizing the challenges it faces from personal differences and external threats. Despite its collaborative nature, Wikipedia has been shaped by authorial leadership, with an informal benevolent dictator guiding the community and mediating disputes. However, this leadership role can be challenging to balance, as new responsibilities and authority may arise. The article uses examples, such as Sanger's reflections on his departure from the community and discussions about Wales's role, to illustrate the delicate balance of leadership in the Wikipedia community. 2.

  1. Summary This article introduces that Wikipedia is an open content community, but being open does not mean that all rules can be ignored. The authors collate five characteristics of open content communities: open content, transparency, integrity, non-discrimination, and non-interference. The openness of Wikipedia has advantages and disadvantages. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, including those without a Wiki account. So this leads to constant destruction of Wikipedia, such as robots editing Wikipedia; but in my experience of editing Wikipedia, many times when editing, I will be asked to enter a string of verification codes to ensure that I am not a robot. Good to keep bots from wrecking Wikipedia. Additionally, Wikipedia has liberal and egalitarian values such as freedom of speech and gender equality. Second, Wikipedia's goal is to minimize marginalization and extremism. 2. Interesting points What is interesting is the WikiChix incident cited by the author. WikiChix’s practice of ex...
