两年前，当我们设想一本关于“互联网模因”的视觉文化期刊时，我们意识到，对我们的主题慷慨的最好方式是不假定知道它会是什么样子。学术出版--其特点是审查期长、修订过程费力--习惯性地在互联网上扮演龟兔赛跑的角色。整个在线社区可以崛起，繁荣，并在你的书得到评论的时间内消失。在4chan、Reddit或Tumblr上，一张图片可以在你还在微调段落的时候，衍生出一种微妙迭代的模因类型。然而，互联网文化的速度和学术研究的缓慢之间的不匹配并不能免除我们-研究人员，思想家，评论家，艺术家-追踪互联网模因的戏剧性发展，以及与它们密切相关的系统，网络和社区。
When we envisioned a journal of visual culture issue on ‘Internet Memes’ over two years ago, we sensed that the best way to be generous to our subject matter was to not presume to know what it would look like. Academic publishing – characterized by its long review periods and labored revision processes – habitually plays tortoise to the internet’s hare. Entire online communities can rise, flourish, and evaporate in the time it takes to get your book reviewed. On 4chan, Reddit, or Tumblr, a single image can spin out a meme genre of subtle iterations while you’re still fine-tuning your paragraphs. And yet, the mismatch between the speed of internet culture and the slowness of scholarship does not absolve us – researchers, thinkers, critics, artists – from tracing the unfolding drama of internet memes, and the systems, networks and communities to which they are germane.
