Hi there, I (Phd candidate in Theatre, Film and Media Studies, University of Vienna, Austria -> https://tfm.univie.ac.at/personal/tfm-staff/jana-herwig/) am also currently working on 4chan, with one article appearing in English this year, and two in German Two are written from a theatre / performance studies perspective, one from a media studies perspective (Unfortunately: Not the English one, but if anyone is working on a 4chan reader - or interested in putting one together, for that matter, I'd be most happy to rework it into an English version.) You can download the manuscripts from here (with section titles for the English article, to convey an idea of the content) Herwig, Jana, "The Archive as the Repertoire.
