Øyvind Vada Abstract. Journal of Memetics - Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission. Memes « etiologue. Memes are a unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
Coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene and popularised by Daniel Dannett, meme is a concept for explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena via application of evolutionary principles. Memes evolve by natural selection, like that of biological evolution and they show self-replication, variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme’s reproductive success. Memes are thus analogous to genes. Examples of memes include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances, melodies, catch-phrases, fashion and moods and terms such as race, culture and ethnicity.
Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts. The field of study called memetics arose in the 1990s. Memetics is a subject out of scope for a single blog entry.

Los memes nos encantan y nos parecen una de las herramientas de difusión más útiles y originales de la era red. Hace unos meses, nos topamos con la obra de Hieronimo Morfejev, remezclador de imágenes y palabras que da salida a sus creaciones a través de las páginas de Facebook de Avantgardens y Planet Reboot. Cuando entramos en contacto con él se mostró muy ilusionado de que quisiéramos traducir sus memes al español y nos pusimos manos a las obra. Hemos presentado algunas de estas imágenes a lo largo de los últimos meses en nuestras propias redes, pero también creemos que merecen un lugar aparte donde tenerlos recopilados a modo de exposición. Memes as mental frames and cognitive templates. Øyvind Vada (Memetor, ECCO) Abstract:
What we learned from 5 million books. Algorithm Distinguishes Memes from Ordinary Information — The Physics arXiv Blog. Memes are the cultural equivalent of genes: units that transfer ideas or practices from one human to another by means of imitation.
In recent years, network scientists have become increasingly interested in how memes spread. This kind of work has led to important insights into the nature of news cycles, into information avalanches on social networks and into the role that networks themselves play in this spreading process.

Memetic Computing covers the general aspects of population-based problem-solving methods that are enhanced with some form of cultural-analog mechanism. For instance, Memetic Computing involves also software ecology. That is, studies of the enormous number of software projects are shedding light on how software development takes place and the many social and technical issues related to this fundamental XXI century activity.

Cargo. Meme Hacking. At PivotCon 2010, Douglas Rushkoff made some extremely cogent arguments about why brands cannot go viral on social networks — even when there’s plenty of activity on companies’ websites and Facebook pages — and why it’s pointless to try to push brand concepts (such as mascots) around as memes in the expectation of driving actual product sales.
This talk is exceptionally amusing both for its venue — he’s at a branding conference talking about social media — and for the fact that he opens the talk by saying, essentially, “you think you’re talking about what’s happening, but you’re not.” He managed to rankle more than a few career marketeers who oversimplified his message to mean “marketing is evil”; the mild antagonism to this particular audience inherent in his message did not go unnoticed by PivotCon organizer Chris Shipley who made no bones about the reason they decided to schedule his talk dead last.

Infocology thinkstate. Wired 2.10: Meme, Counter-meme. Meme, Counter-meme By Mike Godwin It was back in 1990 that I set out on a project in memetic engineering. The Nazi-comparison meme, I'd decided, had gotten out of hand - in countless Usenet newsgroups, in many conferences on the Well, and on every BBS that I frequented, the labeling of posters or their ideas as "similar to the Nazis" or "Hitler-like" was a recurrent and often predictable event.

The idea of memes, and the word itself, were originally speculated by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene although similar, or analogous, concepts had been in currency for a while before its publishing.
In the book she examines the difficulties associated with the meme including its definition and how to spot one as well as the difficulties which arise from seeing it as being like the gene. She sees the meme in terms of being a universal replicator, of which the gene is but an example, rather than being like the gene itself. Memetic engineering. Memetic engineering is a term developed and coined by Leveious Rolando, John Sokol, and Gibran Burchett while they researched and observed the behavior of people after being purposely exposed (knowingly and unknowingly) to certain memetic themes. The term is based on Richard Dawkins' theory of memes. The process of developing memes, through meme-splicing and memetic synthesis, with the intent of altering the behavior of others in society or humanity.The process of creating and developing theories or ideologies based on an analytical study of societies, cultures, their ways of thinking and the evolution of their minds.The process of modifying human beliefs, thought patterns, etc.
Definition[edit] According to the above theory, typical memetic engineers include scientists, engineers, industrial designers, ad-men, artists, publicists, political activists, and religious missionaries.
