[Air-L] Research on memes and internet fail sites

[Sanni Pennanen]

Dear all,

I would be interested to know if there are researchers amongst you who
would be focusing on memes and/or internet fails (for example lamebook
etc.). Also tips about readings on the matter would be highly appreciated.
I'm currently planning my PhD studies in folkloristics with the topic of
Internet fails, memes and questions of authenticity in online communication.

Thanks!
