This presentation takes online virality as its starting point, specifically that of memes and the question of their historicisation , in order to question how they may be resituated in a context of production and circulation, taking social, spatial and temporal logics into account.

In dieser neuen Rolle als „middle ground“ zwischen Massen-produktion und -konsum waren die Schuhmacher im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts gezwungen, sich an die neuen gesellschaftlichen wie ökonomischen Verhältnisse anzupassen.
