Véronique Ginouvès on 21 Jan 14"Internet memes, such as 'LOLcats', 'Planking', or 'Gangnam Style', have become prominent aspects of digital culture. But they are more than just funny photos or videos shared with friends; in Memes in Digital Culture, Limor Shifman suggests that they represent a new form of digital participation. An in-depth analysis of the origin and nature of Internet memes makes this book a great read for any researcher interested in digital culture and new media, writes Sophie Lecheler."
