remixthecontext is a cunning and satirical collection of "theoretical fictions" composed by artist, novelist and media theorist Mark Amerika. A compelling riff on the classic Platonic dialogue, Amerika''s remixthecontext features Walt Whitman Benjamin, a Professor of Creative Urgency who intellectually jams with an assemblage of characters that resemble the actual artists, poets, and scholars who populate the university cafe culture depicted in the book. Each chapter is enlivened by Amerika''s provocative mash-up of literary metafiction, new media rhetoric and witty repartee setting the stage for a series of freewheeling exchanges that playfully investigate a multitude of themes including remix culture, psychic automatism, gender fluidity, social media dystopia, MOOCs as performance art, and the challenges presented by cutting-edge digital arts and humanities curricula within a sclerotic academic environment.?

Industry Reviews

"Mark Amerika remixed the book! Remix your ideas. Remix your brain. Remix your eyes. Reload, refresh and open your mind. Now you can read it. The source is on the table." -Giselle Beiguelman, University of Sao Paulo

"Plato created written dialogue as interface to introduce oral people to literate reasoning. Mark Amerika shows that dialogue functions equally well to introduce literate students to electrate creativity, the update being that remixology is to dialogue what bitcoin is to money. Imagine overhearing shoptalk from the Cabaret Voltaire, extended in a virtual appropriated cafe into a poetics of digital textuality." - Gregory Ulmer, University of Florida

"Every bit of the source material Mark Amerika provides in this vanguard literary artwork is worth stealing! Given the branded intellectual and artistic contexts he describes, we could pay him no greater compliment than to resample and reuse his remix-writing." - Gary Hall, Coventry University
