BLURB
Fanvids, a mashup genre with a 30-year history, are attracting increasing attention today as YouTube and its ilk make internet video ubiquitous. These music videos, constructed of recombined clips from movies or TV, are traditionally created within a predominantly female subculture, and often make feminist and/or queer statements about their mass media source texts. This combination screening-lecture- discussion will contextualize vidding as form and practice and explore its intricate techniques for queering media technologies and bodies. Insider veejays [us] will highlight examples that critique the mainstream representation of gender and sexuality and that self-reflexively elucidate vidding as a technology of fannish fetishism. Variably provocative, joyous, hilarious, and surprising, these ingenious underground artifacts offer a unique vision of the possibilities of popular appropriation.
