[Air-L] research on memes

Fri Apr 20 09:39:28 PDT 2018

Hi everyone

Victoria Esteves and I wrote a chapter together about memes for the Routledge Companion to Alternative and Community Media in 2015. I’m happy to share a PDF with anyone who’s interested.

Cheers, gm

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:
