Communicating with Memes: Consequences in Post-truth Civilization
investigates the consequences of memetic communication, the causes
of these consequences, and what action-if any-should be taken in
response. Communicating with memes across social media networks has
become a commonplace activity in today's world, despite the fact
that just years earlier, this mode of communication was a rarity.
The rapid adoption of this new mode of communication through
ubiquitous social media and device use is resulting in a major
transformation of the ways in which we think and behave in our
digital world. From the election of Donald Trump, to online
harassment and identity theft, to the resurgence of once-eradicated
diseases due to the anti-vaxxer movement, Grant Kien analyzes
fourteen major consequences of this shift and confronts the
question of how to approach these consequences.
Post-Global Network and Everyday Life explores everyday life in the
new world order of global network. It argues that network has come
into its own as a state of mind and a way of life - in sum, a
cultural norm. As a result, it is no longer fitting to examine the
network as an external force, but as a somewhat banal aspect of our
everyday environment. The essays in this volume provide analyses of
case studies that illustrate new - and old - ways in which everyday
life is lived within network. Each chapter examines network as an
always-already condition - we are the network, and as such are
living in a state of post-global network.
