In a Nutshell We Have Made a Medieval Meme Generator On
In a nutshell We have made a Medieval Meme Generator on www.medievalmemes.org. It's a quick and easy way of creating your own memes with Medieval handwriting, and it teaches you a bit about the history of illuminated manuscripts in the Middle Ages. The various examples of manuscripts come from the collections of the KB, National Library of the Netherlands and Huis van het Boek (House of Books), the oldest book museum in the world. Memes? A meme, which is pronounced ‘meem’, is a humorous image, usually with a funny caption, which is spread via the Internet. The plural of meme is memes. The longer term ‘internet meme’ is sometimes used. Erm… memes…? You probably know ‘Grumpy Cat’, he has become one of the most famous meme characters around: Nobody knows how many memes are in circulation, but it would probably be safe to say hundreds of thousands of meme formats exist and over a billion memes were created. In March 2021 for example, searching for ‘meme’ resulted in 1,860,000,000 (in other words, almost two billion) hits in Google. The website https://knowyourmeme.com/about tries to describe the most popular memes and their background. Still or moving? Most memes show a stationary picture, although some GIFs (moving images) can also be memes. It's generally much more difficult to make a moving meme than to make one with a stationary picture (which is why you don't see them as often). History The term ‘meme’ was thought up by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1976. -

The response to the pandemic had already been thoroughly politicized several weeks earlier such that news and information about the pandemic were mediated by political media systems. While the rest of the American media ecosystem focused on describing the pandemic, its economic costs, and criticizing the president for his response, conservative media presented a thoroughly partisan view of events and proactively defended and supported the actions and inactions of the president. -

BAB V PENUTUP A. Kesimpulan Hingga saat ini internet meme tetap populer digunakannya sebagai salah satu pilihan dalam menyampaikan ide, gagasan, opini, maupun pendapat. Hal tersebut juga didukung dengan adanya berbagai media untuk menyebarkan internet meme seperti situs dan media sosial. Karenanya kini semakin mudah untuk menemukan internet meme di internet. Sejalan dengan prihal tersebut juga esensi internet meme semakin bias dikarenakan kata “meme” sudah semakin lumrah (mainstream) di dengar. Padahal terdapat berbagai kelebihan dan keunikan dengan berkomunikasi dengan internet meme. Ketika dilakukan survei terhadap pengguna media sosial 9gag didapati bahwa topik yang berhubungan isu sosial dan politik menjadi topik yang paling dominan dipilih. Media sosial 9gag dipilih sebagai tempat survei karena disana dijumpai pengguna, penyebar, dan pembuat internet meme yang sudah lebih dulu digunakan oleh masyarakat Indonesia sebelum media sosial populer lainnya (Instagram, twitter, facebook, dsb). Pada survei tersebut didapati pula bahwa usia pengguna, pembuat, dan penyebar internet meme dimulai dari 20- 30 tahun. Namun juga didapati usia 17-19 tahun yang tertarik dengan internet meme. Sehingga pada hal tersebut maka pengguna internet meme ini tergantung pada kematangan pola berpikir untuk menciptakan dan mencerna internet meme yang biasanya dimulai semenjak usia remaja. Akan tetapi ketika menggunakan, membuat dan menyebarkan internet meme yang diperhatikan adalah terdapat juga landasan hukum yang mengatur komunikasi dengan menggunakan media -
Remixing the Ramayana
BOWKER REMIXING THE RAMAYANA Remixing the Ramayana: Literary Listening and the Curation of Contemporary Song Cycles Dr Sam Bowker Abstract Listening is enhanced by a sense of purpose. Over almost twenty years, the author created annual compilations of music encountered during that year. These playlists were circulated as both journals and introductions to new music. In recent years, the 'playlist' evolved into a 'song cycle', in which collected samples are arranged or manipulated into reinterpretations of well-established literary narratives (including Valmiki's Ramayana and Dante's Divine Comedy). These have demonstrated that the literary epic narrative remains a valuable vehicle for collecting, isolating and re-purposing the audible 'found objects' of the Anthropocene, as well as guiding long-term reflective listening practices. As an extension of remix cultures, these contemporary song cycles are incidentally encountered and collaboratively sourced across a long-term research process. They enable the listener to form vivid and idiosyncratic engagements with the creative depth of the humanities. Just as "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls", the epic Ramayana echoes along the aisles of supermarkets, the soundtracks of video games, and down the cavernous labyrinths of YouTube. Keywords: Listening, Song Cycle, Ramayana, Dante, Aladdin, Translation, Music, Interpretation, Storytelling Introduction Over twenty years, I curated annual compilations of music I encountered during that year. These private playlists were assembled through a combination of aesthetic and stylistic elements, often with reference to recent events. In the informal and intimate tradition of the mixtape, these playlists were gifted to selected individuals as auditory journals and introductions to new music. -
