Memes i marknadsföring : En visuell semiotisk analys av Comviqs reklamfilm ’Orkestern’ / Memes in marketing : A visual semiotic analysis of Comviq’s commerical ’Orkestern’Paulusson, Jan January 2022 (has links)
This thesis examines how the Swedish telecom company Comviq utilizes the meme formatknown as Trumpet Boy in their commercial Orkestern from 2018. The study makes use of aqualitative comparative semiotic analysis to decode signs present in both the referencematerial and the video advertisment. This study relies on the theoretical basis of Stuart Hall’stheory of representation, Linda Hutcheon and Siobhan O’Flynn’s theory on adaption andHenry Jenkins’ theory on transmedia storytelling.The study finds that Orkestern makes use of the fundamental concepts and imagery found inboth the original still image and a remix of the Trumpet Boy meme format. AlthoughOrkestern can be seen as an adaptation or paraphrase of the aforementioned meme, it alsotakes liberties with the implementation of said concepts. The core elements attributed to thememe can be found in Orkestern but while a reference is being made, it’s not being copied, inmuch the same way as memes are paraphrased by users of social media platforms.

Harmlöst - eller inte? : En kritisk diskursanalys av Nordiska Motståndsrörelsens memes om covid-19 och etablissemanget / Harmless - or not? : A multimodal critical discourse analysis of Covid-19pandemic memes communicated by the Nordic resistance movement in SwedenKarlsson, Samuel, Rådberg, Victoria January 2022 (has links)
Studien “Harmlös - eller inte?” undersöker memes skapade av den högerextrema organisationen Nordiska motståndsrörelsen (NMR) för att se hur de framställer etablissemanget i kopplat till covid-19. Studien undersöker även hur dessa memes är konstruerade. Memes är ett framgångsrikt digitalt verktyg som används på internet. Deras största kännetecken är ironi och humor. På senare tid har memes även börjat användas som opinionsverktyg då de levererar budskap snabbt och effektivt. Högerextrema organisationer i synnerhet använder memes särskilt flitigt för att nå ut och locka nya följare. Teorier som använts för att uppnå studiens syfte är representationsteorin, ideologier samt teorin om intertextualitet. Analysen har genomförts på 13 memes i bild- och textform genom en kritisk diskursanalys baserad på en anpassad version av Carvalhos (2008) modell för diskursanalys. Analysstegen som används är layout & struktur, objekt & aktörer, språk, grammatik och retorik samt ideologiska ståndpunkter. Resultatet visar att Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen i sina memes anpassar nyheter som rör coronapandemin till att passa sin fiendebild. NMR framställer etablissemanget som något främmande och opålitligt i samband med Covid-19. NMR använder humor, ironi och satir för att kritisera makthavarna. Dessutom finns starka kopplingar till högerextrema idéer, bland annat antisemitism, homofobi samt våld- och dödshot. / The study "Harmless - or not?" examines memes created by Swedish far-right organization The Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) to see how they portray the establishment in connection with covid-19. The study also examines how these memes are constructed. Memes are a successful digital tool used on the internet. Their biggest characteristics are irony and humor. Recently, memes have also started to see use as tools of opinion-making, as users can derive meaning from them quickly and efficiently. Right-wing extremist organizations in particular use memes particularly extensively to reach out and attract new followers. Theories used to achieve the purpose of the study are ideology, the theory of representation and the theory of intertextuality. The analysis has been carried out on 13 memes in image and text form through a critical discourse analysis based on an adapted version of Carvalho's (2008) model for discourse analysis. The analysis steps used are layout & structure, objects & actors, language, grammar and rhetoric as well as ideological positions. The result shows that the Nordic Resistance Movement in its memes adapts news related to the corona pandemic to fit its image of the enemy. NMR portrays the establishment as something alien and hostile in connection with Covid-19. NMR uses humor, irony and satire to criticize those in power. In addition, there are strong links to right-wing extremist ideas, including anti-Semitism, homophobia and threats of violence and death.

En musikalisk översvämning : Hur TikTok musikaliserar vår tillvaro / A Musical Overflow : How TikTok Musicalizes Our Everyday LivesHansson, Vincent Johanna January 2023 (has links)
The mediatization of society has gradually led to an increasingly prominent presence of music in our daily lives, a process which Tobias Pontara and Ulrik Volgsten refer to as musicalization. One media platform that has experienced rapid growth in recent years is TikTok, which, with its one billion users, has become a hub for music discovery and distribution. TikTok's interface fosters a participatory culture, where users actively engage in musical challenges and memes. In this paper, I examine musical memes as a phenomenon and explore their influence on society's musicalization process. By examining TikTok's user interface and its self-promotion strategies, it becomes apparent that the platform aims to establish itself as a contemporary music medium. The app's features actively encourage users to utilize music and dances as a tool for storytelling and community-building. TikTok's rise in the media landscape has led to a mediatization process where other media adapt to TikTok's logic, and due to music being such a central part of the platform, it contributes to an increased presence of music in our day-to-day lives.
