It reads works by Jennifer Egan, Sherman Alexie, and others through the lenses of remix theory -- the term Eduardo Navas coined to describe the remix as a form of artistic and cultural discourse -- and the music industry's preoccupations with nostalgia and authenticity, arguing that digital-age fiction, poetry, and drama remix the music and technology of the past to offer new modes of connecting to self, others, and place. Musical features such as references to popular songs, structural similarities to music recordings, and thematic treatment of the riffing and borrowing endemic within popular music lend a retro sound, feel, and structure to contemporary American texts, even when they refer to life in the digital era. Through engaging with the musical past, literature resists nostalgia and remixes the twenty-first century's dystopian, disconnected ethos to find possibility and hope for the future. Critics often focus on technology's negative impact on the music industry, but American Lit Remixed emphasizes music as a source of creative potential in twenty-first-century literature, including new ways of storytelling and relating." -- $c publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-158) and index. 505 0 $a Intro : "A new soundtrack" for American literature -- Fiction on record : A Visit from the Goon Squad -- Alexie's iPods and cover songs -- Remixes on the stage and the page -- Outro. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Music in literature. 650 0 $a Popular music in literature. 650 0 $a Remixes. 650 0 $a Music and technology. 650 0 $a American literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Remixes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094443 650 7 $a Popular music in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071472 650 7 $a Music and technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030490 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Music in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030552 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781498594783 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F17B16BA1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
