This research discusses the mashup practice, particularly the one of web applications, while own aesthetics, that translates a contemporary sensibility, reflex of the remix culture of which emerges. Copy, cut or paste are now intrinsic actions to the daily of the cyberspace, where the recombination of information is evidenced as usual practice. In this context, how to identify and relate the mashup aesthetics? Such scenery incites the further study concerning mashups, in search to trace a descending and contemporary overview by means of investigation and identification of its origin, structure and practical in the digital medium. To debate these issues was accomplished a historical redemption, in order to present the concepts and artistic movements precursors relative to its essence. The mashup comprehension advances in scope of the remix sphere. The issues referring to collaboration, interaction and authorship, as well as the conceptualization of the practical, based on the malleability of the binary code and the transposition between a medium to another one; will be sustained from the studies of Lev Manovich and Eduardo Navas. Thus, the analysis of the structure and functioning of mashups applications in the digital medium, demarcated by means of the considerations from Duane Merrill, consists in better assimilation to these reflections, since specifies the technological characteristics that define them. In intention to reorganize the several mashups models found in the net, it makes mapping inspired on Merrill s classification, however, propose own categories; supported in case studies made through the analysis of web sites that use the technique. With effect, it verifies that the mashup process former, based on combination of one or more sources for formation of something new, is the same adopted in different periods, in other words, is not entirely innovative; varies only the form of employment applied, in the relationship of the predecessors concepts to the technology and emerging medias. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of the proposed classification for mashups mapping in the revelation of organic categories, that allow thus to illustrate the fluid movements of associations and inter-relationships characteristic of its organization, in an accurate portrait of the universe of unlimited possibilities of imbrication in which they inhabit
