The Power to Remediate
Ok, just right to the question without where the idea came from:
WHO are are Bolter & Grusin speaking about when we they speak of the "re/hypermediated self? Culture at Large (who's that exactly)? Those who have access to the view themselves as mediated? Those who have the power to create the format that remediates? Those who have NO power to either see themselves mediated OR to create in the media that mediates?
Do we include those who are represented/recreated/interpreted/indentified by media even when they have no power to participate in HOW they are represented/recreated/interpreted/identified?
