Abstract

The article determines the role and meaning of memes as model texts in the process of Internet users’ self-designing. It shows that memes, as ready-made social-cultural models existing in the Internet, can become the value-semantic foundations of a person's experience. Informational resources of memes are related with their laconism. Motivational mini-stories are considered as such ones that can occur in human life, because the model text contains motives, themes, ways of actions leading a person to the idea that "everything can go in another way" and " a better" life can be achieved with designing of new life realities. Also, model texts can be perceived as 2one’s other meaning", causing a reaction of rejection or resistance. In this situation, they will perform a provocative function, stimulating a person to give his/her own replica-response to ―one’s other‖ semantic messages (appeals) of the model text. Namely this semantic tension opens up for a person different possibilities to find his/her own ways of vital task resolution and designing of his/her own life and him/herself. Consequently, in both cases, there is a way to a new level of "probabilistic"possible significant matters‖ with resources for personal development and self-design. Based on the three-level model of a self-designing person (proposed by N.V.Chepeleva and S.Yu. Rudnitska), the peculiarities of self-designing in the Internet at the levels of "a plagiarist‖, "a reader" and "an author" are characterized.
