Le Moyen Âge en meme, entre esthétique et stéréotypes : Esthétiser le Moyen Âge ou médiévaliser les memes ?

As a recent phenomenon of the popular web-culture, memes are massively spreading on social networks. These pastiches are images reproduced and distorted on a large scale. The study is based on an analysis of posts from ten historical memes Facebook groups and on an online survey distributed among these groups. Stereotypes related to Middle Ages, such as chivalry or crusades, do not represent the entire set of posts, depending on the group. In fact, western medieval aesthetics are largely reused to redesign news or meme-culture in the style of illuminations.
