Abstract:

the implications that steels & belpaeme's (s&b's) models have for memetics are discussed. the results demonstrate the power of memes (in this case colour words) to influence both concept formation, and the creation of innate concepts. they provide further evidence for the memetic drive hypothesis, with implications for the evolution of the human brain and for group differences in categorisation.

Abstract:

- This essay proposes a memetic view of translation, as an alternative and perhaps more fruitful way of conceptualizing the issues involved. After a brief introduction to memetics as a theory of cultural transfer, we outline its relation to genetics and then consider its relevance for Translation Studies. Particular attention is given to a recent article by Maria Tymoczko which challenges some of the traditional assumptions of Translation Studies. Can memetics offer a way to meet these challenges? The essay closes with an assessment of some of the criticisms that have been directed against memetics.Keywords: Meme, Imitation, Cultural evolution, Transfer, Modification, Translation.Parole chiave: Meme, Imitazione, Evoluzione culturale, Trasmissione, Modificazione, Traduzione.

Abstract:

Although the theory of memetics appeared highly promising at the beginning, it is no longer considered a scientific theory among contemporary evolutionary scholars. This study aims to compare the genealogy of memetics with the historically more successful gene-culture coevolution theory. This comparison is made in order to determine the constraints that emerged during the internal development of the memetics theory that could bias memeticists to work on the ontology of meme units as opposed to hypotheses testing, which was adopted by the gene-culture scholars. I trace this problem back to the diachronic development of memetics to its origin in the gene-centered anti-group-selectionist argument of George C. Williams and Richard Dawkins. The strict adoption of this argument predisposed memeticists with the a priori idea that there is no evolution without discrete units of selection, which in turn, made them dependent on the principal separation of biological and memetic fitness. This separation thus prevented memeticists from accepting an adaptationist view of culture which, on the contrary, allowed gene-culture theorists to attract more scientists to test the hypotheses, creating the historical success of the gene-culture coevolution theory.

Abstract:

The problem of midwife scheduling is one of the most frequent problems in hospitals. Midwife should be available 24 hours a day for a full week to meet the needs of the patient. Therefore, good or bad midwife scheduling result will have an impact on the quality of care on the patient and the health of the midwife on duty. The midwife scheduling process requires a lot of time, effort and good cooperation between some parties to solve this problem that is often faced by the Regional Public Hospital Undata Palu Central Sulawesi Province. This research aimed to apply Memetics algorithm to make scheduling system of midwifery staff at Regional Public Hospital Undata Palu Central Sulawesi Province that can facilitate the process of midwifery scheduling as well as to produce optimal schedule. The scheduling system created will follow the rules and policies applicable in the hospital and will also pay attention to the midwife's preferences on how to schedule them according to their habits and needs. Memetics algorithm is an optimization algorithm that combines Evolution Algorithm and Local Search method. Evolution Algorithm in Memetics Algorithm generally refers to Genetic Algorithm so that the characteristics of Memetics Algotihm are identical with Genetic Algorithm characteristics with the addition of Local Search methods. Local Search in Memetic Algorithm aims to improve the quality of an individual so it is expected to accelerate the time to get a solution.

Abstract:

Verbal humor has always been in hot discussion in the academic field recently. The Big Bang Theory is a popular American sitcoms. The show is primarily centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California. The greekiness and intellect of the four men are contrasted for comic effect with Penny’s social skills and common sense. On the basis of the previous study, this thesis tries to analyze verbal humor in sitcom The Big Bang Theory from the perspective of Memetics. Firstly, the article introduces the general definition and features of verbal humor, and gives us a general overview of the memetic theory. Secondly, the article concentrates on the causes of humor generation and the process of humor generation from perspective of memetics. Lastly, the author hopes this article can help us to appreciate verbal humor in English sitcoms.

Abstract:

One of the most significant aspects of the working world is the concept of a picket schedule. It is difficult for the scheduler to make an archive since there are frequently many issues with the picket schedule. These issues include schedule clashes, requests for leave, and trading schedules. Evolutionary algorithms have been successful in solving a wide variety of scheduling issues. Evolutionary algorithms are very susceptible to data convergence. But no one has discussed where to start from, where the data converges from making schedules using evolutionary algorithms. The best algorithms among evolutionary algorithms for scheduling are genetic algorithms and memetics algorithms. When it comes to the two algorithms, using genetic algorithms or memetics algorithms may not always offer the optimum outcomes in every situation. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the genetic algorithm and the algorithm's memetic algorithm to determine which one is suitable for the nurse picket schedule. From the results of this study, the memetic algorithm is better than the genetic algorithm in making picket schedules. The memetic algorithm with a population of 10000 and a generation of 5000 does not produce convergent data. While for the genetic algorithm, when the population is 5000 and the generation is 50, the data convergence starts. For accuracy, the memetic algorithm violates only 24 of the 124 existing constraints (80,645%). The genetic algorithm violates 27 of the 124 constraints (78,225%). The average runtime used to generate optimal data using the memetic algorithm takes 20.935592 seconds. For the genetic algorithm, it takes longer, as much as 53.951508 seconds.

Abstract:

Recently leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS/Mormon) faith have called upon members to “sweep the earth” with positive religious messages through social media. This digital moment in Mormonism exemplifies the interrelation and concomitant tension between everyday lived religion, technology, and religious institutions. While studies on digital religion have emphasized the push of participatory culture into everyday lived religion, this research on religious memes contributes to an emergent vein of digital religion scholarship focused on institutional authority. In our analysis of the “doubt your doubts” meme and antimemes we theorize religious memetics as a space for the reconnection of the everydayness of religious practice, which boils down meaningful moments of faith into facile, nonthreatening avenues for sharing religion. While this is beneficial for institutions, the reflexive and metonymic function of religious memes ruptures routine, offering participants momentary pauses from the demands of orthodox religious life.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 1976, Richard Dawkins coined the term meme as a way to metaphorically project bio-evolutionary principles upon the processes of cultural and social development. The works of Dawkins and of some other enthusiasts had contributed to a rise in popularity of the concept of memetics (“study of memes”), but the interest to this new field started to decline quite soon. The conceptual apparatus of memetics was based on a number of quasi-biological terms, but the emerging discipline failed to go beyond those initial metaphors. This article is an attempt to rebuild the toolkit of memetics with the help of the more fundamental concepts taken from semiotics and to propose a synthetic conceptual framework connecting genetics and memetics, in which semiotics is used as the transdisciplinary methodology for both disciplines. The concept of sign is used as the meta-lingual equivalent for both the concepts of gene and meme. In the most general understanding, sign is a thing which stands for another thing. In genetics, this translates into gene that is a section of DNA that stands for the algorithm of how a particular biomolecule is built. In memetics, the similar principle works in meme that is a thing that stands for the rules of how a particular cultural practice is performed.

Abstract:

Proper names habitually express the cultural and social characteristics of a group; therefore, they express collective confirmation of a sense of self-image, affiliations, and emotional anchors. The goal of this investigation is to help deepen our understanding of the onomastic identity revealed in the collective discourse and manifested through the memetic features of onyms. The research presented here consolidated onomastics, psycholinguistics, memetics, and cultural studies. The focus of this investigation is on the changing collective onomastic identity in the Ukrainian society. The data for this research was gathered from two free associative experiments carried out with Ukrainian respondents in 2006 and 2021. In both years, respondents were presented with identical lists of stimuli. Both corpora reveal proper names with memetic features that were preserved in collective memory.

Whereas other theories treat culture as an adaptation, for memetics it is a parasite turned symbiont that evolves for its own sake.

Abstract:

Memetics is a new theory in linguistic research. It was put forward by Richard Dawkins in order to explain cultural evolutionism. Meme refers to imitation, replication and propagation, which plays an important role in language and cultural development. Memetics has already attracted many scholars’ attentions and has become more and more popular. With the thriving of the internet, netizens make changes in word selection and sentence patterns, so that meme is suitable for potential hosts. Network language is replicated quickly and disseminated widely, which influences people’s daily life. Therefore, the study of network catchphrase memes is valuable and meaningful. Memetics can explain cultural inheritance and language variation. It can also help people find the potential law of network language transmission. This thesis shows the characteristics of memes and network catchphrases respectively. Then the author analyzes the ways and factors of network catchphrases’ dissemination from the perspective of memetics, and discusses factors that affect the dissemination of network catchphrase memes. Therefore, the study on network language, especially catchphrases, has theoretical significance and practical value.

Abstract:

On the basis of meta-scientific approaches, the legitimacy of considering the processes of biological evolution using the notions of attributiveness of the ideality of objects is substantiated. Ideal evolution is defined as the evolution of an object in the direction of the realization of its current and necessarily changing potentials, and the evolution of the ideality - as the evolution of forms, processes and functions. Thus, it is proposed that evolution must be considered as the realization of potentials and as a change in the ideal attribute of objects. Taking into account the ideal «component» allows to use almost all meta-scientific approaches to solve evolutionary problems – the theory of information, systems, fractals, risks etc. It is shown that memetics explores the general principles of information inheritance, regardless of its substrate, on which the genetic, epigenetic or memetic information itself. It is argued that in systemogenesis a certain potency (opportunity) is realized, generating a new potency, plan, idea or goal. Thus, it is impossible to describe all stages of evolution with one law. Each stage has its own substantial and organizational (actually «ideal», informational) component (attribute), the description of which requires appropriate laws. In Man, the role of the ideal or rather, informational, attribute is growing in the process of its progressive evolution, which turns into practically a «pure» informational evolution, isomorphic to its carrier. Keywords: meta-scientific approaches, ideal, information, progressive evolution, memetics, systemogenesis, emergence.

Abstract:

AbstractThe last few million years on planet Earth have witnessed two remarkable phases of hominid development, starting with a phase of biological evolution characterized by rather rapid increase of the size of the brain. This has been followed by a phase of even more rapid technological evolution and concomitant expansion of the size of the population that began when our own particular ‘sapiens’ species emerged, just a few hundred thousand years ago. The present investigation exploits the analogy between the neo-Darwinian genetic evolution mechanism governing the first phase, and the memetic evolution mechanism governing the second phase. From the outset of the latter until very recently – about the year 2000 – the growth of the global population N was roughly governed by an equation of the form dN/Ndt=N/T*, in which T* is a coefficient introduced (in 1960) by von Foerster, who evaluated it empirically as about 200 000 million years. It is shown here how the value of this hitherto mysterious timescale governing the memetic phase is explicable in terms of what happened in the preceding genetic phase. The outcome is that the order of magnitude of the Foerster timescale can be accounted for as the product of the relevant (human) generation timescale, about 20 years, with the number of bits of information in the genome, of the order of 10 000 million. Whereas the origin of our ‘homo’ genus may well have involved an evolutionary hard step, it transpires that the emergence of our particular ‘sapiens’ species was rather an automatic process.

Abstract:

Placyd Jankowski (known also as John of Dycalp) was a popular writer active in the 1840s, he quickly gained popularity thanks to his humorous lyrics, but before his death in 1872 he was almost forgotten by readers. This raises questions about the rules guiding cultural memory. One of the concepts that could explain the process of cultural heredity is the memetic theory proposed by Richard Dawkins. The scholar assumes the existence of cultural units subject to the process of evolution, which he called memes. Their success and survival depend on the fulfillment of specific characteristics to which the human mind is particularly susceptible, i.e. topicality, originality, narrative, and universality. Using the tools developed by memetics, the article will attempt to describe the reasons for social forgetting on the example of the life and work of Placyd Jankowski.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper employs memetics to argue against the view that standardisation overwhelms the evolution of accounting. I suggest that, in an unregulated setting, accounting procedures constitute classic memes and survive according to their fitness for their environment, which is predominantly a matter of their suitability for investment decision-making. In a standardising regime, the standardising canon embodies a special kind of meme encoding ideas as actions to be imitated to realise those ideas. Evolutionary pressures and the canon develop in tandem, although not necessarily synchronously.If we accept the central tenet of memetics, which is also the assumption underlying the argument challenged here, that memes emerging before regulation were responsive to evolutionary pressures, we can analyse the responsiveness of the standardising canon by examining its relationship to a counterfactual continuation of the pre-regulated regime. The degree of synchronicity is an empirical, but elusive, question and we should follow Dennett’s recommendation that we settle for the philosophical realisations we can glean from memetics.I argue that three factors are of importance in addressing the question. Accounting memes function within a dense ecology, limiting radical and destabilising change. There has been a high degree of continuity, permeability and commonality in the intellection driving development: the same thinking has influenced policy design wherever it has taken place. Finally, the principal determinant of successful adaptation did not change on the transition to standardisation and the canon and its vehicles have survived. Consequently, we can conclude that standardisation has not disrupted the development of accounting.

Full text

Abstract:

The passive construction marked by bei + Vt in Chinese has undergone significant extensions in form, meaning, and function. Among a variety of existing accounts, the memetic discussions succeed in recognizing the new passive construction as a strong language meme and revealing some possible root causes for its transmission and replication, but leave much to be desired, such as how the form of the new construction contributes to its vigour, why the new construction is favoured by Chinese users over other means of expression with equivalent semantic meaning, and why new media can contribute to the transmission of the new construction. Thus, this study, while incorporating existing discussions, seeks to present a further treatment of the new phenomenon in the light of memetics. The author argues, on the basis of authentic data involving the use of the new passive construction, that (1) the new passive construction as a powerful memetic form of expression derives a major part of its replicating power from its parasitic nature, (2) the new passive construction as a memetic form of expression acquires its expressive power from its euphemistic effect appropriate to the Chinese sociocultural context, and (3) the new passive construction as a memetic form of expression owes its transmissive power to the easy and tolerant access and output enabled by new media. It is hoped that this study will reveal why and how the prototypical Chinese passive construction can undergo the aforementioned syntactic, semantic, and functional extensions characterisable as a process of memetic transmission in particular, and demonstrate how a memetic approach is applicable to the expatiation of syntactic evolution in general.

Memetics, based on Darwin’s evolutionism, explains the process of cultural evolution from cultural perspective whose core content is the imitation and replication of the form and meaning of memes under the different contexts. Coupled with colorful pictures, The Archaeological Excavations at the Royal Cemetery of Haihunhou State in the Han Dynasty records the most famous archaeological excavations in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China in recent years. This paper studies the dissemination ways in archeology translation in the book and finds out the respective characteristics of genotypic translation and phenotypic translation, so as to examine and explain the translation phenomena from the perspective of translation memetics, aiming to provide a new theoretical direction for the study of archeology text translation.

Abstract:

The article expresses the views on the controversial attitudes relating to the interpretation of law at different stages of development of science in general and legal science in particular. Tracing the respective changes, the author comes to the conclusion that classics was based on the rule of law; art Nouveau was aimed to destroy the rule of law; postmodern — on departure from reality. In the postmodern world-both legislator, and his will — are all the essence of fiction. Classical science was concerned to establish the objective truth; modernism believes all truth is relative; the postmodern — denies the establishment of the truth. The author suggests the answer to the question as to where the perspectives of the science lie should be sought in the realm of conjunction of natural and humanitarian sciences. And in the context of such cognitive-information theory the author draws the attention to importance of modern scientific trend-memetics and the use thereof in the field of jurisprudence. As a subtype of memetics the author suggests to introduce the notion of lawmemetics to be employed to study the two types of the mems: the entity of legal reality and the entity of psychological reality. The substantial aspect memetics is called to be the resumption and poliform-like repetition of what was originally coded as the mem information and was designed to secure its values as applied to the new circumstances of place and time.

Abstract:

In information age, people have gradually integrated into the new era of network culture. In the process of Chinese communication online, quasi-affixes, a new type of affix, are being generated correspondingly. They enrich netizens’ life and boost the prosperity of Internet’s culture. Created by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, Memetics is a new theory to explain the law of cultural evolution based on Darwin's theory of evolution. Memes are the basic units of cultural information inheritance. The thesis intends to analyze the prevalent reasons of quasi-affixes in cyber language as well as their functions in daily communication and cultural transmission from the perspective of memetics by typical examples. To achieve it, the analysis will develop from three aspects, the form and meaning advantages of quasi-affixes and their roles playing in different scenarios. Finally, it will draw a conclusion.

Abstract:

With the development of economy and modern technology, the emergence of computers has transformed human’s life in many aspects, even has changed the way that people use language. The language which people use on Internet is network language. Human didn’t neglect Internet language. On the contrary, lots of outstanding researches have been published at home and abroad as Internet language plays a significant role in intercommunication and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, as a specific dialect, Internet slang is distinct from everyday language, regardless of whether it is written language or colloquial language. Previous Chinese researches focus on coverage of Chinese network language, but they seldom focus on substance of it. Based on memetics, it is easier to let people understand the origin, formation, development and causes of Netspeak. In this paper, memetics can be used to figure out the generation and development of Chinese network language.

Abstract:

This paper argues that despite 50 years of empirical research, the phenomenon of social contagion is still poorly understood. Social contagion research has produced an eclectic, largely confused and jumbled body of evidence that lacks any comprehensive organising principle or conceptual framework. Whilst the great majority of this empirical research has identified and confirmed existence of the social contagion phenomenon, results have been undermined because the phenomenon itself has been variously and ambiguously defined and operationalised. This has meant that the potential radical implications of social contagion research findings for an orthodox understanding of the human individual as a rational Cartesian agent, have been largely ignored. It is suggested that the emerging evolutionary paradigm of memetics may providea novel conceptual framework for understanding and explaining the empirical phenomenon of social contagion, by understanding it as the observable action of selfish memes replicating through a population. The article concludes by proposing a memetic theory of social contagion, and ends with a call for the synthesis of the two bodies to create a comprehensive body of theoretically informed research.

Abstract:

Scientific thought is characterized in general as methodical and rational. I would like to present here an opposing view, which treats science as a non-systematic activity, where serendipity, tinkering and imitation, rather than so-called rational thought, characterizes it. All these kinds of acts, which are considered to be a-rational, are related to an evolutionary view of science. Here I deal with a version of evolutionary epistemology as applied to science, integrated with the concept of ‘meme’. Richard Dawkins, who coined the term, treats memes as units of information that propagate in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain. Memetics is the counterpart of genetics in the cultural arena. In its application to science, it deals with the manner in which memes/ideas spread in scientific communities. Memes (ideas) replicate through imitation. Examples of this phenomenon in science are illustrated by some historical cases. In particular, I deal with the evolution of theories of ‘internal symmetries’ in particle physics.

Abstract:

As an emerging language variant, researchers have made many efforts from different perspectives to address online violence language. Dawkins believes that human society is full of memes, and everything people learn is memes. Memetics, as a new theory, aims to explain the relationship between language and culture. Undoubtedly, memetics provides a new perspective for linguistics, and many scholars have been studying this theory for a long time. At the same time, we also noticed that previous research has left a lot of research space for this typical theory. Otherwise, language is constantly changing. Therefore, the variation and development of human language directly affect its evolution. Memetics provides a new perspective for analyzing online language. On the other hand, from the perspective of research on language memes, there is insufficient attention paid to the dynamic generation of language memes and a lack of a systematic and comprehensive conceptual framework for meme language. Network language is a product of the information age background and a typical language variant. Therefore, analyzing its complex generation and evolution process is of great significance for the development of language. This article is based on meme theory and focuses on language variants of online violence. Mainly studying the language variants of online violence used by young Chinese netizens. Based on the definition of online violence language, in order to better analyze the variants of online violence language, the author screened some typical online violence events from 2011 to 2021. Based on the fact that there are a large number of language variants of online violence and popular internet slang, the author has built a corpus to better analyze this language variant. All texts are collected from some influential websites, such as Weibo, QQ, WeChat, Tiktok, etc. In addition, some data is collected from real-world communication. The collected language variants of online violence are representative and widely disseminated.

Abstract:

The article accumulates, systematizes and qualifies the most significant modern and relevant scientific works in the field of digital ethics and memetics over the past five years by means of a semisystematic analysis. This method allows us to consider various areas of research for a specified period and provide an overview of scientific sources on issues of digital ethics and memetics. The studies reviewed by the author were selected on scientific and technical bases as eLibrary, CyberLeninka and CORE according to the following keywords: Internet meme, memetics, digital ethics, ethics of a journalist, social networks. The author’s focus is on identifying gaps in research on both internet memes and digital ethics. The author aims to identify different aspects of the relationship between the Internet meme and the ethics of its creation and distribution, as well as to outline the prospects for further research of the problems raised. The presented article specifies the range of existing semantic gaps in scientific concepts and identifies the main lines of development of the problem. As a result of the study the author notes that the study of creolized texts comes down to three problematic issues: how they influence the user’s picture of the world, how they become popular and who creates them. At the same time, the ethical side of the issue is not touched upon by the authors in their works. Most scholarly articles on digital ethics and journalism ethics boil down to three areas: analysis of codes of ethics, analysis of user behavior on social networks and analysis of the spread of fake information online. Thus, the author concludes that digital ethics scholars almost never consider Internet memes as a subject of study, and vice versa, researchers of Internet memes rarely address ethical issues in their works.

Abstract:

AbstractJablonka & Lamb (J&L) reject “the dreaded memes,” but memetics can explain human uniqueness and culture (as a product of the ability to imitate) without depending on their slippery notion of symbolism. Modern memes show the beginnings of a division into replicators and vehicles, and the replacement of reconstructive processes with systems of blind copying, variation, and selection.
