Mytheme is NOT analogous to meme. Not even close. Please don't put it back without *seriously* explaining it, because from my reading of Strauss, we're not even in the same ball park. What a confusing assertion to make. 59.167.111.154 ( talk) 03:58, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps there should be some explanation of how this differs in concept from Jung's theories about archetypes in mythology 216.165.122.26 ( talk) 20:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I'v never heard of this and I'm not a big fan of memes in general. Mytheme sounds like a ridiculous and pointless word with no inherent descriptive value, especially as it is found used in other Wikipedia articles. How would using this word serve to help the reader understand the topic more than if a discussion occured using commonly known, less controversial, and more descriptive words?

"...aspects of culture that computer images enter into dialog with"
Given that computer images lack the articulatory apparatus with which to engage in any sort of dialog, I must assume that the terms used (specifically culture, computer, image and dialog) have a specialized, technical meaning that lifts this phrase above the level of nonsense. It would be a great help to everyone if this technical meaning were provided. Or, perhaps, the author of this text could just note the name of the language in which this phrase is not nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.32.87 ( talk) 07:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
The expression, appearing in the lede, "like a molecule in a compound", was removed as approaching being scientifically inaccurate. Superficially, these two chemical terms are near to interchangeable, and therefore will appear as an incongruous description to readers that are scientifically informed (see associated wikipedia article for each). The original editor is speculated either to be quoting from a referenced anthropologist, in which case this expression can be returned, with quotation marks and reference, or is offering an original analogy to expand upon a sourced description of the title term. An expression such as " atom in molecule" or " molecule in chemical mixture" may be closer to the intended analogy, but if nothing like this appears in the sources, it should be avoided here.
