Hi Brett,
Here are a few leads:
Certainly Lev Manovich's work on The Language of New Media
Ch. 6 of Chuck Tryon's latest book Movies in the Age of Media Convergence
("Hollywood Remixed: Movie Trailer Mashups, Five Second Movies, and Film
Culture")
Harold, Christine, “Pranking rhetoric: ‘culture jamming’ as media activism,”
in *Critical Studies in Media Communication*, Vol. 21, Issue 3, September
2004: p. 189-211
Another from Chuck Tryon:

This from Ed Halter, which engages Scratch Cinema and found footage
filmmaking from early film history to Web 2.0:

Short essay on Remix Theory: http://remixtheory.net/?p=174
Relevant articles from Alessandro Imperato:

Brigid Maher at American University has developed a really interesting
approach to the study of online remix/mashup which draws from Eisenstein &
Manovich - she calls it "Smart Montage." I don't believe she's published on
it yet, but she's presented on it and might be willing to share resources:

Also, this blog has some interesting articles:

Can you tell I'm working on my own syllabus? Hope these are helpful!
