The collection develops memetic and metamemetic frameworks, analyzes memes as cultural remedies through critical race perspectives, and examines slow circulation and propaganda dynamics on platforms like TikTok. It also addresses meme interpretation, captioning, archiving practices, machine learning and humor production, AI-mediated meme making, and disinformation campaign design, connecting theory with observable media processes.","CRITICAL MEME READER III  \nINC READER \\#17  \nBREAKING THE MEME  \nEDITED BY CHLOË ARKENBOUT AND IDIL GALIP  \nCRITICAL MEME READER III  \nBREAKING THE MEME  \nINC Reader \\#17  \nCritical Meme Reader \\#3: Breaking the Meme  \nEditors: Chloë Arkenbout and Idil Galip  \nEditorial assistant: Kate Babin  \nCopy editor: Geoff Hondroudakis  \nProofreader: Charlotte Marie  \nDesign and EPUB development: Charlotte Marie and Tommaso Campagna  \nPrinting and binding: GPS Internationale Handels Holding GMBH  \nCover image: Bliss (image)+ Photoshop AI Photo Editor  \nImage source: [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_)(image)  \nPublished by the Institute of Network Cultures, Amsterdam 2024 ISBN: 9789083412566  \nContact: Institute of Network Cultures  \nAmsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA)  \nOrder a copy or download this publication for free at: [www.networkcultures.org/publications](www.networkcultures.org/publications)  \nSubscribe to the INC newsletters:  \n[www.networkcultures.org/newsletter](www.networkcultures.org/newsletter)  \nThis publication is licensed under the Creative Comons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 4.0 Uported (CC BY-NC-SA 4 .0) .
