Abstract

Abstract This article analyzes the digital storytelling about Corona in the biggest online meme community 9GAG. With an understanding of memes as a low-threshold, participatory medium of digital narration it tries to understand how the visual and narrative communication in online communities deals creatively and critically with the pandemic. By focusing on the characteristic sick humor of the internet and its polyvocal discourse, the article tries to reveal crucial fears and lines of social conflict with regards to COVID-19. The research is based on a documentation and qualitative coding of 700 memes, which were collected in the early stages of the pandemic in 2020.

期刊介绍： Fabula is a medium of discussion for issues of all kinds which are of interest to international folk narrative research. The journal contains eight divisions: Articles, Minor Contributions, Research Reports and Conference Reports, News, Projects and Queries, Reviews, Bibliographical Notes, and Books Received. Principal themes of the article section are the study of popular narrative traditions in their various forms (fairy tales, legends, jokes and anecdotes, exempla, fables, ballads, etc.), the interrelationship between oral and literary traditions as well as the contemporary genres. Interest focuses on Europe and overseas countries which are influenced by European civilization, but still, there is quite a number of contributions from other culture areas.
