Memes historicity, memory automation, comicality:

a critical reflection in a dystopian context

Abstract

Historicity and memory have intrinsic relationship in this discussion from memes and automation. In relation to memes, their apprehension oscillates between genetic metaphor and memetic (of the internet) including comicality as a complementary class of memes, considering the Brazilian context. In the approximation between meme and comicality, the problem of memory automation under tension of mass-disposition and cybernetic interaction is concentrated. In the tensioned dimension of automation there is a departure from the concept of distance (historical), distinction between ambivalence and complementary for attesting a memized historicity from the perspective of the systematic of history. For the term memized historicity, the idea is to apprehend historical meanings not limited to the analytical practices of history in a dystopian context. Currently, the concepts of distance (historical) inherent in the analytic experience of historicity and mass-disposition of Aleida Assmann become insufficient for the interpretation of memory because there is a defense of antithetical pairs and there is no ambivalence of complementarity between the experience of historicization and subjective return.
