Week 11: Reading Scholarship on Race/Religion/Gender in Memes

In week 11 you are asked to reflect on how research conducted on similar themes related to your meme research study might help you reflect on the messages your memes communicate about race/religion/gender. 

You have been asked to find a scholarly article showcasing research on Internet memes that address your chosen topic.  Consider what concept, argument or aspect of methodology the authors have used in their study which might be of use to you in your own analysis.

Your task is to summarize this article and identity one specific concept, argument or aspect of methodology used within this work and apply it to your own.  Please be as concrete as possible both in your description  and application of this idea in your paper.  The aim is to see how your observations might be informed by previous scholarly study of your theme and Internet memes.

Your blog should be 2 paragraphs in length. The first paragraph should summarize your chosen article and identify the aspect of the article at you will draw on.  The second paragraph should apply your selected concept, argument or aspect of methodology to your entire sample and summarize what this reveals in relation to your research question.  Please them discuss 2 memes in detail and showcase how applying this specific aspect shapes your reading of this meme.

 This will be your last formal blogging assignment related to your meme research project, so make this blog a good one, and your reflection detailed and thorough!
