  • Bab Ii Meme Internet Dan Perannya Dalam Literasi
    50 BAB II MEME INTERNET DAN PERANNYA DALAM LITERASI MEDIA 2.0 Pada Bab 2 ini peneliti akan menampilkan gagasan-gagasan yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini dari ruang lingkup yang lebih luas, dengan melihat perkembangan teknologi media, fenomena yang terjadi, fitur-fitur pendukung dan dampak yang dihasilkan dari fenomena meme internet. Akan dibahas pula data meme internet global serta kategorisasinya berdasarkan pembentukan struktur kerangka. Untuk memahami perkembangan meme lebih lanjut, pada Bab ini juga akan ditampilkan sejarah bentuk visual meme secara global, antara lain bentuk visual pertama yang menyerupai meme, selain itu peneliti juga akan menjelaskan bentuk-bentuk eksploitasi gambar visual sebelum era digital yang mempopulerkan istilah meme di Indonesia. 2.1. Literasi Media 2.0 Demokrasi dan kehadiran internet memicu perilaku baru dalam konsumsi media masa, yang tadinya informasi ditransmisikan secara simultan dari satu sumber ke banyak orang, kini tidak ada lagi batas yang jelas antara pemberi dan penerima informasi, siapapun dapat menyampaikan informasi apapun kepada siapapun. Holmes (2015;10) dalam Communication Theory: Media, Technology and Society menguraikan perbedaan era media yang pertama dan kedua; 51 “Era media pertama bersifat terpusat dari sedikit sumber menuju banyak khalayak, komunikasi bersifat satu arah, diarahkan untuk kontrol negara, instrumen bagi rezim yang sedang berkuasa untuk menciptakan stratifikasi dan ketidakadilan, kalangan partisipan terfragmentasi dan terbentuk sebagai massa dan mempengaruhi kesadaran. Sementara itu era media kedua ditandai oleh terjadinya desentralisasi dari banyak pihak kepada banyak pihak, komunikasi berjalan secara dua arah, kalangan partisipan dipandang menjaga individualitas mereka dan mempengaruhi individiual terutama pengalaman ruang dan waktu”. Pengguna internet disuguhi berbagai kemudahan teknologi untuk menuangkan gagasan, merespon peristiwa dan menyampaikan opini melalui kanal website, blog, media sosial dalam bentuk tulisan, gambar, suara, atau yang kini populer yaitu meme internet.

  • Meme World Syndrome: a Critical Discourse Analysis of the First World Problems and Third World Success Internet Memes
    MEME WORLD SYNDROME: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS AND THIRD WORLD SUCCESS INTERNET MEMES by ROBERT CURRY CHANDLER B.A. Pepperdine University, 2008 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Nicholson School of Communication in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2013 © 2013 Robert Curry Chandler ii ABSTRACT This thesis applies the theory and method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the ideological components of the First World Problems (FWP) and Third World Success (TWS) Internet memes. Drawing on analytical concepts from CDA and related perspectives, such as multimodal discourse analysis and social semiotics, the paper analyzes the visual and textual elements of a sample of the FWP and TWS memes. The paper argues that the text and images featured in the memes are ideologically salient and discursively construct oppositional binaries between “us” and “them” in terms of wealth disparity. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................................................. vi LIST OF TABLES................................................................................................................................................... vii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER

  • 'Mah Lolthesis Let Me Show U It': the (Re)Making and Circulation of Participatory Culture: Memes, Creativity and Networks
    'Mah LOLthesis let me show u it': The (re)making and circulation of participatory culture: memes, creativity and networks Victoria Emma Dantas Esteves University of Stirling Doctorate of Media & Culture September 2018 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Prof. Richard Haynes and Dr. Greg Singh for their continued support (on many levels!), belief and feedback throughout this thesis, Dr. Sarah Neely for her input and assurance, as well as all my interviewees for their valuable contributions. I also want to thank Prof. Graham Meikle for his invaluable help, feedback, encouragement and cat memes from day zero; Caspar Rock for his unwavering understanding and for being the embodiment of his namesake; Irina Baltazar for her patience and kindness; Hugo Pereira for telling me I could do this years ago and Gatinho for being the coolest cat I know – all of whom have made this thesis possible. Abstract Internet memes have become ubiquitous in our everyday experiences, both online and offline, permeating a variety of fields; not only are they prevalent in our communications among friends and strangers, they are also present in our political, commercial and cultural experiences. Memes are collective exercises in meaning making and creativity made both inter- personally and globally through sharing, which is built into the craft-like ethos of internet philosophy. Alternative 20th century strategies (e.g. collage, détournement, culture jamming) underlie much of current online interaction, embodying collaborative cultural practices - currently enabled by the accessibility to remix technology - that echo previous movements (e.g. punk, craft, Situationists International). Online memes are the intersection between participatory culture, remixing and intercreativity.

Temos como pressuposto a existência de um imaginário comunicacional, em que o homem contemporâneo é pautado por suas habilidades nas redes sociais, pela exigência da publicização do privado, a obsessividade da partilha da intimidade e a da exorbitante quantidade de imagens. Considerando os memes como um fenômeno significativo desse imaginário comunicacional, buscamos compreender a dinâmica e o trajeto dos memes em meio à essa pletora de imagens.

Your Skill Is Not Enough! “They call you hater well they’re just jealous Your constructive pearls of wisdom give me thrills I can’t deny How will we know if you don’t tell us We could improve our YouTube channels by “fucking off and dying”? … You wished me cancer and misspelled “cancer” But I know that it’s a metaphor.

This contagious idiom (or meme) went viral in 2004 and may have been inspired by a poorly translated caption to a 1998 Japanese video game: “YOU FAIL IT! YOUR SKILL IS NOT ENOUGH.”1 “Fail” appears in comments, in the titles of YouTube videos, and as an “image macro” (a shocking or funny image with a large textual caption).
