Nov. 30th asynchronous work

What stood out to me in the Wanano story was the word detournement, it is a French word used to describe the practice of old media to new. The theory relates to remix culture. In the reading it provides a critical analysis of how detournement works. I was noting how this practice has been used to create things which actively challenge societal norms. It then demonstrates how this practice has been used to critique old media and societal structures, often in unexpected ways. The reading argues that detournement can be a powerful mean of protest, it allows for the reworking of existing media to create new messages that oppose oppressive forces. These ideas are explored through examples in various media, such as music, video, and literature. The reading suggests that detournement can be a powerful tool for creating meaningful work of art that exist outside of traditional boundaries.
