I work on memes as literary criticism. I have a chapter on memes which evaluate the first Hobbit movie in _Hobbit and Tolkien's Mythology_ ( https://www.amazon.com/Hobbit-Tolkiens-Mythology-Revisions-Influences-ebook/...) and another about Harry Potter memes ("Harry Potter and the Unexpected Venue of Literary Critique") in _Transforming Harry: The Adaptation of Harry Potter in the Transmedial Age_ ( https://www.amazon.com/Transforming-Harry-Adaptation-Transmedia-Contemporary... ).

Dearest All
I and my research group have been working on internet memes since 2011 in Brazil. My main concern is on political memes, strategical uses of internet memes and grassroots actions. We've been mapping and collecting papers on this subject since them and we have now a library of more than 900 works (books, chapters, papers, thesis) from different countries and in different languages. It is hosted in a project of our own called #MUSEUdeMEMES, or #MEMEmuseum in a free translation. You can access the site here (unfortunately only in Portuguese up to now): http://www.museudememes.com.br -- and the bibliographical database here: http://www.museudememes.com.br/referencias -- please feel free to circulate it among other scholars. :)
Also we are preparing a collection now and we would be happy to share with all the interested ones our call for papers. Articles will be translated to portuguese and we do plan a forthcoming english edition in the future. Please keep in touch if you want to know more about either the website project or the book.
Cheers. _

Hi there,
Here's an article by a research group I was in that discusses the use of memes and other media (comparing "viral" posts to one-off posts for individual expression) as it spread through Facebook during the 2012 elections.
Edgerly, S., Thorson, K., Bighash, L., & Hannah, M. (2016). *Posting about politics: Media as resources for political expression on Facebook*. *Journal of Information Technology & Politics*, 13(2), 108-125. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19331681.2016.1160267
Hope it's useful!

This recent article on meme criticism might be useful too, as it adopts a somewhat different lens, focusing on the discussion & dissemination of memes, rather than their production: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1369118X.2017.1366540 < https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1369118X.2017.1366540>
