Internet Memes - A New Literacy?

Original language description

This paper examines the recently emerged multimodal artefacts commonly known as Internet memes in the light of the new literacies that are rapidly emerging in the digital age. Attention is paid particularly to the most popular type of Internet meme - image macros - with Joseph Ducreux as a model meme, analyzing and demonstrating their features as well as their correlation with the theoretical framework of new literacies. The paper includes a brief introduction to the theory of new literacies in relationto Internet memes followed by a description of memetic selectivity, distribution, classification and the linguistic and nonlinguistic peculiarities of this phenomenon that expand the traditional notion of literacy.
