Remediation (Re-me-di-a-tion)
Remediation is a word whose definition expands without remedy to encompass a contemporary phenomenon that manifests daily throughout human culture. Originally, the term defined a healing process. Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin redefined the term to mark another sort of redefinition: the tendency for new media to use and perhaps improve upon old media.
Here and now, in a time and place so defined by technological advancement and mass media development, remediation seems to direct the core of the human experience, especially as it pertains to the new conception and perception of old ideas. For the purposes of cultural contextualization, it is important to differentiate between remediation and appropriation. While appropriation “re-presents” a property in its original context, remediation presents a property on a new medium in an attempt to re-contextualize ideas and foster new relationships.
