The Chemical Brothers’ “Get Yourself High” (2003).
In March 2008, I participated in a huge and fruitful conference at University of Nottingham on cultural borrowings. Almost two years after that event, Scope, the well-known online journal of the Institute of Film and TV Studies of that university, publishes an e-book titled “Cultural Borrowings: Appropriation, Reworking, Transformation”, a collection of the best papers presented at the conference. I have contributed with a chapter on music videos and reused footage. My thanks to the editor, Iain Robert Smith, to Dr. Elizabeth Evans, and to the three anonymous reviewers, whose suggestions have significantly improved my essay.
This issue of Scope also marks the 10th anniversary of the publication. It is an honour.
