Hi Cameron! I'm a master's student and my study is focused on Brazilian memes. I've written this article about one Brazilian meme in particular, Gretchen: https://medium.com/dmrc-at-large/meet-gretchen-meme-queen-of-the-brazilian-i... You may find this article about reaction gifs around the world interesting as well: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/29/upshot/gifs-emotions-by-count... The website Know Your Meme (http://knowyourmeme.com/) works as a meme catalogue and is quite comprehensive, but in my research, I've used another catalogue that focuses on Brazilian memes, the Meme Museum ( http://www.museudememes.com.br/) - unfortunately this one only in Portuguese, though. Hope that helps! Good luck with your search Cheers :) On 13 May 2018 at 05:58, Rachael Espinet <raesay2407@gmail.com> wrote:
Good afternoon,
Best advice I can give is to look at different Facebook groups/pages globally (ie country specific) where memes would be shared.

Greetings all,
I am a doctoral candidate studying memes and meme cultures, but I worry that I have a particularly United States-centric bias to the memes and "memescapes" that I regularly observe and visit. I have done some work to reach out to online communities primarily based in China and Taiwan, but I have had mixed results.
I am hoping the multinational AoIR community could help me expand my scope to include other "memescapes" or even particular memes that members might see as particularly reflective of other national contexts. Are there sites or communities specific to national cultures that I should investigate? Or are there resources that might compile a variety of resources worth investigating? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Cameron Lindsey!
