Dr Margie Borschke is a Canadian Australian academic researcher, writer and media educator. She is the author of This is not a remix: piracy, authenticity and popular music (Bloomsbury 2017) and many other articles and chapters on the intersection of culture and technology. Copying, circulation/distribution and collecting as cultural practices are the focus of her work and her program of research employs innovative archival, ethnographic and media archaeological approaches to inquiry. Her goal is to create rigorous scholarship that responds to pressing problems related to digital technologies and the internet through a nuanced study of contemporary life and the recent past that is accessible to both scholars and a general audience. Recent work has considered these themes and used these approaches in the context of underground music cultures, art and collection practices, music streaming services, informal publication in scholarly communities, digital and network metaphors, NFTs and blockchain imaginaries.
