Abstract
The culture of mashups examined by the contributions collected in this volume is a symptom of a wider paradigm shift in our engagement with information — a term that should be understood here in its broadest sense, ranging from factual material to creative works. It is a shift that has been a long time coming and has had many precedents, from the collage art of the Dadaists in the 1920’s to the music mixtapes of the 70’s and 80’s, and finally to the explosion of mashup-style practices that was enabled by modern computing technologies.
