| Popis: | This article explores the theory and methodology of the project “Pictorial Picture Critique in Social Media. Explicit and Tacit Theorizing of the Digital Image.” In order to gain elements of a theory of the digital image from the inside perspective of digital images themselves, the aim of the project is to analyze user-generated forms of pictures that criticize other pictures on social media. This inside view is theorized through media philosophy, which is a philosophy of media by media. Assuming that media have knowledge about media, this diffuse knowledge needs to be clarified. Therefore, a praxeological approach is chosen to conceptualize this media knowledge. Both approaches are combined into a praxeological media philosophy of social media imagery from a socio-cultural perspective. Methodically, the picture practice analysis is designed to ascertain such media knowledge from the collected phenomena, which operate in the case of pictorial picture critique on two levels: knowing that aspects of a picture are criticized, and knowing how the picture is used for criticism. Finally, this approach is exemplified by a case study on Insta Repeat, which criticizes the practice of curating in social media.
