    Hiya everyone,

    I thought I'd just let you know that I'll be giving a brief paper on
    memetics at a forthcoming inter-departmental research seminar between my own
    department (the Department of Film & Media Studies) and the Institute for
    Media and Communication from the University of Oslo. This is a return visit
    following up a similar seminar in Oslo last year (it's a very nice city if
    you ever get the chance to go there).

    My (as yet unwritten) paper is entitled 'Memetics, Media Studies and
    Cultural Policy: Some Initial Observations', and the main aim will simply be
    to introduce the main ideas of memetics to a media studies body of scholars.
    Their responses will rest no doubt on my capacity to get the core ideas of
    memetics across within the allocated 20 minutes (so, vain hope then...).

    What I would appreciate is any advice members of the group may have, perhaps
    based on previous experiences, regarding introducing memetics to new
    audiences (I'll be amazed if any of my prospective audience have heard of it
    before, so it will likely be brand new to them).

    Obviously, I will report back to the list as to how it went, and what
    responses were received.

    Vincent
