StoryAlity#152 – `The Holon/Parton Structure of the Meme, or The Unit of Culture’ in AMaTiAI,CSaHCI (2019)

It’s March 2019, and I have a new book-chapter out. Seems that my (2016) PhD on movie creativity is still bearing some fruit…?

The Holon/Parton Structure of the Meme, or The Unit of Culture

in

Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Simulation, and Human-Computer Interaction (Ed: M. Khosrow-Pour, D.B.A., IGI Global, 2019)

The citation for it (…if you like that kind of thing?) is:

Velikovsky, J. T. (2019). The Holon/Parton Structure of the Meme, or The Unit of Culture. In M. Khosrow-Pour, D.B.A. (Ed.), Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Simulation, and Human-Computer Interaction (pp. 795-811). Hershey, PA: IGI Global. doi:10.4018/978-1-5225-7368-5.ch059

Abstract: This chapter uses systems theory and complexity theory to describe the holon/parton structure of the unit of culture, also known as the meme. The structure of the unit of culture viewed as the holon-parton is a conceptual, theoretical, practical, and scientific tool for identifying and analyzing units (as parts, and as wholes), potentially within all symbol systems in culture. The theoretical perspective adopted in this chapter is evolutionary systems theory. Memes are defined as units of culture, or ideas, processes, or products.

And, the chapter has some diagrams, something like this in it:

…In fact, this new (2019) chapter is, a reprint, of this (2017) chapter:

StoryAlity #144 – The structure of the meme, the unit of culture in: The Encyclopedia of Information Science & Technology, (Velikovsky 2017)

Encyclopedia of Information Science & Technology (4th Edn, 2017)

…Which, was a reworking of this (2016) chapter, from the Appendix of my (2016) PhD on movie/screenwriting creativity:

StoryAlity #132 – The holon/parton structure of the Meme, the unit of culture – and the narreme, or unit of story – book chapter (Velikovsky 2016)

Creative Technologies for Multidisciplinary Applications (2016)

…Anyways; always nice to have a new book-chapter out~!

And so – good to see that, the PhD has some memes (units of culture), that are still spreading in culture…

And actually, the (2016) chapter (my PhD Appendix) was also reprinted in another book, Technology Adoption and Social Issues: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications, in 2018:

Velikovsky, J.T. 2018. “The Holon/Parton Theory of the Unit of Culture (or the Meme, and Narreme): In Science, Media, Entertainment, and the Arts.” In Technology Adoption and Social Issues: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications, edited by IRMA (Information Resources Management Association, USA) , pp. 1590-1627. Hershey, PA: IGI Global.

Also – if you like this chapter on memes (side note: Movies are memes. Popular movies are viral memes) – you may also like, this article:

Comments always welcome.
