[Air-L] research on memes

[Crystal Abidin]

Hi Anja and Tunde,

Kristine Ask and I recently published a paper on student problem memes in
relation to university life:
Ask, Kristine, and Crystal Abidin. 2018. “My life is a mess:
Self-deprecating relatability and collective identities in the memification
of student issues.” Information, Communication and Society 21(6): 834-850.
DOI: 10.1080/1369118X.2018.1437204

Here is a list of multimedia/pop cultural resources I have (haphazardly)
curated on memes:

And here are some key texts on memes:
1) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/memes-digital-culture
2) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/why-we-cant-have-nice-things
3) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/world-made-meme
4)

Hope this is useful.
