Memetics

Adam G. Sanford, Stacy L. Smith, Dinur Blum · The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology · 2025

Abstract Memetics, or the study of memes, is an emerging discipline in cultural evolution. At its core, memetics is based on the idea that culture can be reduced to the study of cultural units, called memes : ideas, behaviors, beliefs, and expressions that spread from person to person in a culture through imitation. In this view, the meme is the cultural version of a gene, a unit of cultural transmission. As memetics is a new discipline, the definitions and boundaries of its scope are still up for debate and discussion, including what the meme is, how it should be studied, and whether memetics qualifies as a science. Most current memetics research focuses on using memetics as a methodology to examine culture and the movement of ideas through culture.

Religious Memetics

Benjamin Burroughs, Gavin Feller · Journal of Communication Inquiry · 2015

Recently leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS/Mormon) faith have called upon members to “sweep the earth” with positive religious messages through social media. This digital moment in Mormonism exemplifies the interrelation and concomitant tension between everyday lived religion, technology, and religious institutions. While studies on digital religion have emphasized the push of participatory culture into everyday lived religion, this research on religious memes contributes to an emergent vein of digital religion scholarship focused on institutional authority. In our analysis of the “doubt your doubts” meme and antimemes we theorize religious memetics as a space for the reconnection of the everydayness of religious practice, which boils down meaningful moments of faith into facile, nonthreatening avenues for sharing religion. While this is beneficial for institutions, the reflexive and metonymic function of religious memes ruptures routine, offering participants momentary pauses from the demands of orthodox religious life.

Organizational Memetics?

If Price · Management Learning · 1995

Companies are not only systems created and controlled by those who manage them but also self-organizing entities that evolve through learning. Whereas an organism is a creation of natural replicators, genes, an organization can be seen as a product of an alternative replicator, the meme or mental model, acting, like a gene, to preserve itself in an Evolutionary Stable System. The result is an organization which self-organizes around a set of unspoken and unwritten rules and assumptions. Biological evolution is stimulated by environmental change and reproductive isolation: the process of punctuated equilibrium. Corporate innovation shows the same pattern. Innovations in products and processes occur in groups isolated from prevailing mental norms. Successful organic strains possess a genetic capability for adaptation. Organizations which wish to foster learning can develop an equivalent, mental capability. Unlike their biological counterparts they can exert conscious choice and puncture the memetic codes that seek to keep them stable: the mental models of individuals, and the strategies, paradigms and unwritten rules at the company level.

Save memetics!

Reinhard Blutner (amsterdam · 2015

Recently, the Journal of Memetics has ceased due to a lack of quality submission. Unfortunately, the project has failed to interest other academics, and, by a case of self-application of memetic theory, the projects did not survive. “The fact is that the closer work has been to the core of memetics, the less successful it has been. The central core, the meme-gene analogy, has not been a wellspring of models and studies which have provided ‘explanatory leverage ’ upon observed phenomena. Rather, it has been a short-lived fad whose effect has been to obscure more than it has been to enlighten. I am afraid that memetics, as an identifiable discipline, will not be widely missed. ” (Bruce Edmonds in the last issue of the journal) Perhaps Mr. Edmons’s dread is not justified if it comes out that memetics finds a real application in

Embodiment vs. Memetics

Joanna J. Bryson · 2004

Although the embodied approach to AI has lead to a large number of advances in the field, there has been no convincing demonstration of one of its earliest promises: that it would solve semantic grounding. In this article, I argue that although physical embodiment no doubt plays a major role in human intelligence, it may not be a necessary attribute for artificial agents capable of participating as equals in our linguistic culture.

Memetics across Generations

Jana Hallová · Półrocznik Językoznawczy Tertium · 2024

The following study focuses on the use of memes on social media, their prevalence in conversation and their usage based on the age of the contributors. The main question it asks is whether the use of memes in computer-mediated discourse is a momentary trend or whether it exhibits signs of continuous language evolution. A quantitative linguistic study is employed to answer this question within the scope of the study. The environment of the study, the social media platform analyzed, is Facebook. The article looks at popular pages on Facebook and user reactions to the posts made by their administrators. It identifies memetic responses among them to observe their prevalence within this digital discourse, then it compares them to the user age data available. Based on the quantitative results, the study shows whether the use of memes rises exponentially the lower the approximate age of the user. The most recent demographic studies of Facebook at the time the study was conducted are employed and compared to the quantitative results to surmise whether the result bears traits of digital language evolution. Within the scope of the study and the selected dataset, it demonstrates the aforementioned traits in younger generations and their prevalence on social media. The article provides an example, and a baseline data analysis, of how meme usage rises with younger generations, as well as insights into usage by older generations and discrepancies in digital language evolution markers.

Memetics of representation

Roberto de Rubertis · SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología · 2012

This article will discuss about the physiological genesis of representation and then it will illustrate the developments, especially in evolutionary perspective, and it will show how these are mainly a result of accidental circumstances, rather than of deliberate intention of improvement. In particular, it will be argue that the representation has behaved like a meme that has arrived to its own progressive evolution coming into symbiosis with the different cultures in which it has spread, and using in this activity human work “unconsciously”. Finally it will be shown how in this action the geometry is an element key, linked to representation both to construct images using graphics operations and to erect buildings using concrete operations.
