Memes como Activismo Digital

Abstract

El objetivo del presente ensayo es examinar cómo los memes de internet de corte político responden a un tipo de activismo digital. Los memes examinados fueron creados y difundidos con la intención de parodiar a actores políticos, visibilizar posturas y cómo comentario político en torno a la huelga sistemática de la Universidad de Puerto Rico del 2017. Se propone como método de análisis de los memes de Internet de tipo multimodal el método propuesto por Barthes (1964) para el análisis de anuncios publicitarios en La Retórica de la Imagen debido a su similitud y que este tipo de memes tiene sus raíces en el arte publicitario.

The objective of this essay is to examine how political memes respond to a type of digital activism. The memes examined in this journal paper were created and disseminated with the intention of parodying political actors, make visible certain postures and as political commentary on the systematic strike of the University of Puerto Rico in 2017. I also propose as a method of analysis of Internet memes of multimodal type the method proposed by Barthes (1964) for the analysis of advertisements in the rhetoric of the image due to the similarity of this type of memes with advertising art.
