8. Broken English with Hana Ćurak

Why memes for this episode?

Well, memes have become one of the most interesting internet language forms, penetrating all layers of society and shaping perceptions of language in a particular way.

I talk about how they can be used to influence our collective thinking with the one and only Hana Ćurak, sociologist and political scientist working at the intersection of decolonial and feminism, and founder of the platform @svesutovjestice platform and meme page for identification and subversion of patriarchal particularities in the everyday.

Vještice created a particular meme form that combines visual and idiomatic elements with vernacular humor in order to communicate messages to larger audiences. Inspired by decolonial theory and radical feminist imagination of a decolonial future, Vještice aim to communicate feminist messages to unusual suspects and inspire others to do the same.
