Remixes

What is the primary thesis of this series? What is “remixing?” Explain how Fergueson’s concept of remixing connects to our learning about rhetoric; synthesize Fergueson’s series to any text about rhetoric from class we’ve read so far.

The main idea of the videos is that our everyday lives are surrounded by remixes. The idea of a remix is to take something that has already been made and alter it in a way, usually to get a different reaction from an audience.  I related Fergusons ideas back to the class material we read about revisions. I feel like everytime you make a revision to a project you are in a way making a remix of it. And in Lawson’s case her stuffed raccoon, in kind of a weird way, is a remix of the raccoon’s life.
