About me
I am Associate Professor in organisational communication at Aarhus University, Department of Information and Media Studies. I hold an MA in Information Studies and Organizational Psychology from Aarhus University and a PH.D. in Media Sociography from the IT-University of Copenhagen.
I have taught and done research at the university of Aalborg Department of Humanistisk Informatik, at Aarhus University, Department of Information and Media Studies and at the IT-University of Copenhagen.
Network
Since 2001 I have been member of The Centre for Internet Research. I am also a member of The Association of Danish Media Researchers (SMID), International Sociological Association (ISA), Research Committee 51 on Sociocybernetics (RC 51) and Media Ecology Association (MEA). I am moderator on three mailing lists Sociocybernetic (about 650 members), the Danish Luhmann Forum (about 400 members) and Centre for Internet Research´ mailing list Forum for internetforskning (about 70 members).
Colleagues
I work tight together with Michael Eric Paulsen and we have made many projects together e.g. courses and seminars. Also the colleges from the Danish Luhmann network I have a good cooperation with, they are primary: Lars Qvortrup, Gorm Harste, Ole Thyssen, Ole Bjerg and Søren Brier who runs the journal Cybernetics & and Human Knowing (Søren is also a member of RC 51 as I am). Also in the international Luhmann community I want to point at some very good colleges Loet Leydesdorff and Dirk Baecker. I also have a great network among medium theorists, in Denmark they are especially Niels Ole Finnemann and Niels Brügger and in the US I want to mention Lance Strate and Robert Logan.





Dear Professor Takke (sorry, I can’t put the right alphabet)
Nothing other than Twitter itself led me to your very interesting paper “Structural Coupling and Translation - Twitter observed asCommunication Medium and Non-human Actor.”
I took the liberty of putting excerpts from the paper onto my blog: http://yosukeyanase.blogspot.com/2011/06/reading-luhmann-to-understand-twitter.html.
I’m also fascinated by the power of Twitter, which I may want to term as “multitude-media” borrowing the concept of multitude from Hardt and Negri.
Thank you very much for your wonderful paper.
