Schauerte, Eva2020-05-202020-05-202016https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/14738The essay picks up Hannah Arendt’s diagnosis of the instability of the modern subject, which has led to a boom of self-help-literature within the 19th century. The article reflects upon some digital descendants of this genre: a series of self-help applications, the quantified-self-community, and a recently developed analysing tool for quantified data. From a media-archaeological perspective, the article not only enquires into the social and technological conditions of self-help in digital culture, but equally aims to discuss corresponding concepts of privacy and quantification.deuIn CopyrightQuantifizierungOptimierungSelbstoptimierungSelbstkontrolleDatenschutzself-trackingApp300070Von Quantifying und Coaching-Apps - Digitale Lebensführung zwischen Selbst- und FremdkonstitutionHannah Arendt10.25969/mediarep/13797nbn:de:101:1-2016040122992197-5280
