“…Also, in the dynamic landscape of cultural exchange and the convergence of diverse languages, we observe that the boundaries between languages blur, giving rise to a unique linguistic crossroads. Within this context emerges the homophone meme expression (Schmidt & de Kloet, 2017; Wong et al, 2021). It involves the application of text fragments phonetically resembling Chinese text fragments, aiming to imbue the communication with a jovial yet subversive nuance.…”

“…For example, transforming “John Watson, you discover blind spots” into “Blind spots, you discover John Watson” introduces an intriguing twist. Additionally, our exploration encompasses the homophone meme expression (Schmidt & de Kloet, 2017; Wong et al, 2021), the inversion rhetoric expression (Elton, 2016; Fitz & Chang, 2017), the emoji encryption expression (Franco & Fugate, 2020), the decomposed expression (Chen, 2021), the mobile data economizing expression (Zea & Heekyoung, 2019).…”

Nowadays, the omnipresence of the Internet has fostered a subculture that congregates around the contemporary milieu. The subculture artfully articulates the intricacies of human feelings by ardently pursuing the allure of novelty, a fact that cannot be disregarded in the sentiment analysis. This paper aims to enrich data through the lens of subculture, to address the insufficient training data faced by sentiment analysis. To this end, a new approach of subculture‐based data augmentation (SCDA) is proposed, which engenders enhanced texts for each training text by leveraging the creation of specific subcultural expression generators. The extensive experiments attest to the effectiveness and potential of SCDA. The results also shed light on the phenomenon that disparate subcultural expressions elicit varying degrees of sentiment stimulation. Moreover, an intriguing conjecture arises, suggesting the linear reversibility of certain subcultural expressions.

“…In the same vein, Deuze (2006), by proposing the term ‘bricolage’ in relation to digital media, has conceptualized convergence as a process producing a new unit. The expansion of the concept of bricolage elaborated by Schmidt and De Kloet (2017) is useful in capturing the functional meaning of the convergence process as expressed by supplements. Drawing on Lévi-Strauss’s (1962) and Derrida’s (1978) discourses on bricolage, they propose viewing this as an economic way of producing media content, cannibalizing existing formats and styles (in our case those of the magazine).…”

Unsung convergence of analogue to analogue: Add-ons, supplements and the evolving roles of the print newspaper

While the by-now familiar debate on media convergence has focused on the blending of the analogue and the digital, and has primarily considered technical features, other forms of convergence have been neglected. In this article, we focus on the unsung convergence between analogue and analogue. This convergence has been realized by newspapers with analogue media, while also to a lesser extent with digital media, through the introduction of supplements and of media add-ons. Although these extensions of newspapers are not new, their historically recent revival has specific meanings. After analysing these two strategies within the general theoretical framework of convergence, we discuss their characteristics and implications for newspapers. We conclude with a call for the mapping of the variety of unsung forms of convergence, in order to build a less limited and more solidly anchored conception of the processes at work.

“…The term 'meme' itself, coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976, refers to aspects of culture or language that replicate and spread broadly across populations. Within the context of meme culture, 'bricolage' suggests both a DIY aesthetic and practice of media, art, and knowledge remixing or mash-up to invite new meanings to arise from these previously separate parts (Evnine, 2022;Markham, 2018;Schmidt andde Kloet, 2017, all drawing on Lévi-Strauss, 1962). On the Internet, memes can take many forms.…”

This article argues for the importance of the memetic tactic of bricolage within contemporary social media science communication for its capacity to curate and distill approachable, accessible, and shareable Covid-19 content. We suggest that the social media communication practices of what we call ‘public health influencers’ (PHIs) on Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter make use of memetic bricolage techniques of stop motion, collage, infographics, and placarding, coupled with an ethos of ‘micro-celebrity,’ in order to advance stalled public conversations and to reorient the spread of disinformation back to evidence-based facts. To make this argument, we analyze the cross-platform social media work of three key PHIs during the pediatric vaccination campaigns of late 2021 within our local context of Ontario, Canada to reflect on the effectiveness of social media presence, communication, and advocacy. Through memetic tactics, we argue that PHIs’ efforts to engage the public are driven by a larger impulse to combat health inequities that are exacerbated by the different forms of disinformation circulating on social media. Ultimately, this article illustrates how the concerted effort against disinformation by PHIs on social media via memes contributes to advocacy for more accessible, just, and equitable health care for Ontarians.
