Sampling Media digs deep into sampling practices across audio-visual media, from found footage filmmaking to Internet memes that repurpose music videos, trailers and news broadcasts. The book extends the conceptual boundaries of sampling by emphasizing its inter-medial dimensions, exploring its politics, and examining its historical and global scope.
