[Air-L] Memes Globally

[Gabriela Lunardi]

Hi Cameron!

I'm a master's student and my study is focused on Brazilian memes.

I've written this article about one Brazilian meme in particular, Gretchen:

You may find this article about reaction gifs around the world interesting
as well:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/29/upshot/gifs-emotions-by-country.html

The website Know Your Meme (http://knowyourmeme.com/) works as a meme
catalogue and is quite comprehensive, but in my research, I've used another
catalogue that focuses on Brazilian memes, the Meme Museum (
http://www.museudememes.com.br/) - unfortunately this one only in
Portuguese, though.

Hope that helps! Good luck with your search

Cheers :)
