theory underground | The Profile Age - Profilicity, The General Peer, and Luhmann | Dr. Georg Moeller @carefreewandering @theory_underground | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Our interview with Hans-Georg Moeller of Carefree Wandering! This is huge! We talked a lot about his concept of "profilicity" (how our lives are defined now by curating our online profiles), a concept from Niklas Luhmann called "second order observation," and "the general peer" — which is kind of like the big Other, though much more obviously relative to one's idiosyncratic and niche standpoint, background, and cultural context.
Moeller brings a social systems theory approach to critical media theory – and his channel is an amazing resource. Be sure to check out Carefree Wandering!

ABOUT
Theory Underground is a research, publishing, and lecture institute. TU exists to develop the concept of timenergy in the context of critical social theory (CST). To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and stuff. Enjoy a ton of its content here for free or get involved to access courses and the ongoing research seminars.
