    NBA Memes- The Role of Fan Image Macros within the Online NBA Fan Community Michael Lee (N8429634) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy PhD Thesis Principal Supervisor: Dr. Stephen Harrington Associate Supervisor: Associate Professor. Jean Burgess Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Keywords Memes, Internet Memes, Image Macros, Basketball, NBA, Race, Masculinity, Popular Culture, Sports, Social Media, Brain Scalabrine, Jeremy Lin, Donald Sterling, Michael Jordan, Asian, African-American, Digital Communication. i Abstract Abstract This project explores internet memes, pinpointing the utilisation of images macros by online-based basketball fans, as a cultural tool for communication, conversation, critique and debate. More specifically, this study will focus on how basketball fans through image macros, are engaging with different facets of culture, not limited to sport. What makes basketball memes stand out in comparison to memes of other professional sports pertains to the generativity of the image macros. The term ‗generativity‘ refers to how a text through extensive remix, imitation and circulation through online social networks, can potentially invoke indifferent responses from participants who are exposed to the meme. In terms of basketball memes, the images of basketball stars at times become generative in their own right, as a result of the utilisation of them by fans through memes, binding them to a host of different cultural viewpoints, some of which contradict their professionally-crafted star images and the corporate visions of their endorsements, teams and leagues. This fan generativity is influenced by several intervening factors, from the history of the world‘s most famous basketball competition, the NBA, to how the league is marketed, to other cultural influences related to social identities concerning masculinity, politics, religion, sexuality and in particular, race.

    MediaSport As we enter the twenty-first century, sport increasingly dominates the international media.

MediaSport provides a comprehensive assessment of the ways in which sport and varied forms of media interact with culture, and is written by leading experts from around the world in the fields of sports studies, media studies, journalism and cultural studies. Among the subjects covered are: • marketing and commodification of sports • media treatment of gender, race, and sport • nationalism and the globalization of sports • violence, fanship, and audience experiences • postmodern mediation of sport and the Internet Clearly written and wide-ranging, MediaSport provides essential insights into the latest thinking on the relationship between global sport and the world of communication.

  • Investigating Basketball Twitter: a Community Examination Of
    INVESTIGATING BASKETBALL TWITTER: A COMMUNITY EXAMINATION OF SERIOUS LEISURE INFORMATION PRACTICES By JACOB SANCHEZ A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information, and Media Written under the direction of Ross Todd And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Investigating Basketball Twitter: A Community Examination of Serious Leisure Information Practices By JACOB SANCHEZ Dissertation Director: Ross Todd Serious leisure studies in Library and Information Science have focused on the educational and work contexts to the detriment of leisure contexts (Stebbins, 2009). The metatheoretical position to support this view is based in social constructivism (Taljia, Tuominen, & Savolainen, 2005). A synthesis of key claims in serious leisure research is used to create the base knowledge of the serious leisure community. By identifying gaps in the research at the theoretical, topic, contextual, and methodological levels, this following research seeks to address the following research problem: What can we learn about serious leisure in library and information science in the online community of basketball twitter? The proposed dissertation investigates: (1) the serious leisure practices of the basketball twitter community; (2) the positive and negative impacts of the serious leisure information practices in the community; and (3) how, if at all, do these information practices shape the power structure of different groups in the community. Findings are examined in relation to the fields of human information behavior and practices, serious leisure, sport, and social media.
