Corey, known as Kardashian Kolloquium on Instagram and TikTok, applies media theory and postmodern philosophy to the Kardashian family, their Hulu show and their impact on society: 'There is a sadomasochistic element to the way they put themselves out there.'
“Applying theory to the Kardashians helped me understand the [media] theory better, and my hope is to make it feel more accessible to other people too,” Corey says. “I feel like we’re witnessing the slo-mo swan song of critical thought and it feels important to model critical thinking frameworks for people. And more and more, to get people to care about stuff, it needs to be presented in a fun way.
I told my sister about it, who was a film student at the time, and she was like, “Oh, yeah, you have to read Jean Baudrillard. He explores exactly that weird liminal space that the show lives in.” It became fascinating through that lens. And so really my account became an excuse for me to [delve into my analytical impulse], and it helped me understand postmodern theory — and media theory — better.
They’ve subsumed culture for so long, and they’ve amassed controversy, so I think the show is now a bigger part of cultural conversations about the Kardashians. I think it’s more integrated now. Outrage baiting and seizing the media, creating scenarios that are so easily reproducible by headlines, social media content, retweets, and posts … is all a part of how we live now. They are more than just reality stars because they brought every form of media into their project and then expanded it.
