    Put it Back! Archived Memes in Context

    No full text
    peer reviewedMemes constitute a significant aspect of online digital cultures (see Shifman, 2014; Milner, 2018; Denisova, 2016). Their role in reactions to events like the Ukrainian war highlights their broad influence. However, preserving memes, especially in their original context, proves challenging (Pailler & Schafer, 2022). Initiatives like SUCHO's Meme Wall and the one by the Library of Congress (which archived Know Your Meme but also Meme generator, when creating a particular collection in 2017 “Remix, Slang and Memes: A New Collection Documents Web Culture”) reflect attempts at preserving these cultural artifacts. Furthermore, institutional web archives, as exemplified by projects I led like Hivi (A history of online virality) and Buzz-F in collaboration with the BnF Datalab, have significant content related to memes and viral online phenomena such as the Harlem Shake. Nevertheless, the process of archiving memes remains underdeveloped, resulting also in challenges related to retrievability, searchability, and contextualization. This presentation delves first into the unique challenges posed by memes concerning contextualization. It explores their circulation across platforms, notably on social media networks, their diverse and ephemeral nature, and the cognitive context intricacies tied to content and usage. Memes can for example vary drastically in meaning based on where they appear – be it a tweet, a post within an activist Facebook group, or other contexts. Understanding these multilayered intricacies is vital for comprehending the broader significance of memes and for developing suitable archiving processes. Following a brief presentation of the various contextual layers involved into meme analysis, we will delve into the extent to which meme archiving addresses – or could address – these diverse dimensions. It becomes crucial to identify elements that must be preserved to facilitate proper contextualization and potential new approaches to these challenges. One proposal involves for example creating shared ontologies to enrich metadata. Additionally, the idea of specialized meme collections within archives could be explored. This presentation draws upon the experience gained from two research projects, Hivi and Buzz-F, with the aim of initiating a discussion on context preservation and the challenges posed by ephemeral online phenomena such as memes. It offers insights relevant to the Research & Access theme, touching upon topics such as Unrealized business and technical requirements for web archives research; Creating & providing researchers with datasets from web archives collections; Collaborations between researchers and web archivists.R-AGR-3937 - C20/SC/14758148/HIVI - SCHAFER Valéri

    The effect of crystal orientation on the wetting behaviour of silicate melts on the surfaces of spinel peridotite minerals

    No full text
    The effect of crystal anisotropy on wetting angles of equilibrium silicate melts on crystal faces of spinet, diopside. enstatite and olivine has been determined experimentally by the sessile melt drop technique. The anisotropy (A) over tilde gamma(SL), of solid-liquid interfacial energies (gamma(SL) (max')-gamma(SL) (min)) can be related to the wetting angles, psi, by (A) over tilde gamma(SL) proportional to \cos psi (max) - cos psi (min)\ = Pw ((A) over tilde gamma(SL)). Normalising to the smallest wetting angle gives values of P-w for diopside = 0.0728, olivine = 0.0574, orthopyroxene=0.01521, and spinel=0.0075. Crystal anisotropy influences grain-scale morphology of small-degree partial melts. permeability and the melt connectivity threshold, phi(c). Results show that, at sufficient melt fractions. diopside should increase permeability in a peridotitic matrix, whereas enstatite should lower it. Despite its low anisotropy, spinet contributes positively to permeability and phi(c) because of its high surface energies. These results suggest that harzburgitic mineral matrices typical of the suberatonic mantle should impede the movement of low-degree partial melts, whereas melts should flow more easily through spinet lherzolites

    The gravitational field of a radiating and contracting spherically-symmetric body with heat flow

    No full text
    A model of a highly idealized spherically symmetric object radiating away its mass with constant luminosity is presented. The body starts at t = -infinity with both infinite mass and radius and contracts to a point at t = 0 without forming an event horizon. Its material particles are moving non-geodesically and shearfree while transporting heat to the surface. Unlike in some radiating star models of a similar type, all physically required conditions are satisfied in this model

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
