Welcome to the course blog for the UNDERACADEMY COLLEGE SUMMER SEMINAR 2014.
AUGUST 4-12
MEME ON MEME ACTION is a seminar that focuses on meme cultures, their patterns of emergence, of decadence, of virality and longevity … on their rhetorical methods and position in (or outside of) language arts.
The digressors for the seminar introduce topics for participatory discussion and critical-creative practice. Each day of the 10-day seminar includes exercises and assignments. The seminar schedule can be found here — Seminar Schedule.

This looks amazing. Can you tell us something about the time commitment involved? How longish is each class? What kinds of assignments?

hi Jill, thanks for asking. the commitment to the assignments is entirely opt-in. could be 10 minutes a day, could be a couple of hours. Checking the blog for assignments and topics each day is a good idea, and participating at a comfortable level is key. sometimes participants will be asked to create critical memes, creative memes, or turn themselves into memes. other times it may just be posting responses to blog topics.
