  • Four Pillars of Meme Analysis
    2019/04/04

    What are memes? How can we dissect the meaning and function of memes in society? These are the foundational questions Colin and Rock attempt to answer on this premiere episode of Shitposting the Spectacle. They introduce four lenses they will be using to deconstruct memes: memetics (Dawkins), genealogy (Foucault, Nietzsche), semiotics (Barthes), and the spectacle (Debord). Complete with a breakdown of the hallmark This is Fine meme, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in STS.

Tracing the Sistine Chapel to Napoleon Crossing the Alps demonstrates that the birth of political power, and its ability to hold onto power in moments of crisis, relies on memes.
