Hi Kim,
I got Hausheer's book via interlibrary loan (based on its search at
worldcat.org) when I wrote my dissertation at NYU, because one of its
chapters examines found footage practices made with digital video, those
that foreground the techno-ontological transition between film and
post-cinema. As far as I remember, the UIUC library is the only one that
holds the book and I borrowed it about two months after my interlibrary loan
request. That is, an if someone of the university already checked the book
out, it will take more time for it to arrive your home library.
As with more recent essays on found footage, you may refer to the valuable
special issue of *Scope *journal, since it addresses broader cultural issues
of recycling than those of avant-garde ciema. Some of its contributions will
help you find more literature on found footage studies.
A few other scholars's names that just came to me include Andre Habib (on
Decasia and Lyrical Nitrade), Adrian Martin ("*The Global Art of Found
Footage Cinema*"), and Michael Zyrd (on Tribulation 99). Erika Balsom's
essay on Peter Tscherkassky, Martin Arnold, and Gustav Deutsch can be found
in the anthology New Austrian Cinema, which just came out.
Also, if you're interested in "remaking" practices in artists' film and
video and the gallery-based moving image since the 1990s, there are several
exhibition catalogues highlighting their representative works,
including *Cut/Film
as Found Object* (
http://store.mam.org/Prod-18-1-50-10/CUTFilm_as_Found_Object_Exhibition_Catalogue.htm
)
Most recently, Steve Anderson's book Technologies of History includes a
section on found footage, and you may find a few articles related to that
topic by googling (

I hope that will work for you.
