Research on memes and internet fail sites
Dear all, I would be interested to know if there are researchers amongst you who would be focusing on memes and/or internet fails (for example lamebook etc.). Also tips about readings on the matter would be highly appreciated. I'm currently planning my PhD studies in folkloristics with the topic of Internet fails, memes and questions of authenticity in online communication. Thanks!

You might be interested in the work of Ryan Milner -- his dissertation is up on his academia.edu page (http://cofc.academia.edu/RyanMMilner) and I'm sure he'll have some other work that might be of interest. On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 7:13 AM, Sanni Pennanen <sanni.pennanen@gmail.com>wrote:

Hello Sanni, I have a paper that just came out in Computers in Human Behavior on this topic. Here's the citation: Guadagno, R. E., Rempala, D. M.,Murphy, S. Q., & Okdie, B. M. (2013). Why do Internet Videos Go Viral? A Social Influence Analysis. *Computers in Human Behavior, 29,* 2312–2319. Let me know if you want a reprint - I didn't want to SPAM the whole listserv Here's my Psychology Today blog post on the topic of Internet memes (note, I need to update that cite): http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/why-people-click/201304/what-makes-video...

Hey Sanni, While I'm not currently in academica, I am the resident librarian at Know Your Meme <http://www.knowyourmeme.com>. I specialize in fandom, slang and Tumblr-related content, although I have also covered some fail-related topics. I'm in the beginning stages of putting together an online bibliography of meme-related research (although I don't have an ETA on it, it's currently a backburner project) but I'm always available via email for any meme-related questions anyone has! There are also a few academics with accounts on the site and we have a thread<http://knowyourmeme.com/forums/meme-research/topics/13980-academic-research-on-internet-memes>in our forums dedicated to research. Cheers! amanda amanda brennan know your meme <http://www.knowyourmeme.com/users/amandab--3> memelibrarian.com @continuants <http://www.twitter.com/continuants> # 862.400.7345 *The archive, if we want to know what that will have meant, we will only know in times to come; not tomorrow, but in times to come. - Jacques Derrida * On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 7:13 AM, Sanni Pennanen <sanni.pennanen@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi Sanni, My peripheral interests also include memes, so I would be happy to swap notes off-list if you're keen! In the meantime, let me point you to this panel at last year's ROFLCon. The panel was called "Adventures in Aca-meme-ia" and featured a bunch of people whose work touches on memes and the people who make them. Most of them have some kind of contact information listed on the video, so this may be a fun little resource.
