    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). CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. 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 shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.

  • "Gabriel Rockhill's Anti-Imperialism is NOT Marxism" - Chris Cutrone goes IN on pro-Hamas activism

    This was going to be a conversation mainly about Cutrone's new book and course, but after a certain point pretty early in, the focus became Palestine-Israel, Hamas, what a "real Marxist" position would mean, why anti-imperialism ain't it. Gabriel Rockhill kept coming up because he's big on that anti-imperialism is the Real Left Solution To The Riddle Of History or whatever, but TU does not necessarily endorse that view, knowing very little about Rockhill's actual positions. This was not about Rockhill so much as Cutrone's take on him and that tendency of the Left, which is interesting on its own. Share your own thoughts below!

    The course begins in October and you can enroll here https://theoryunderground.com/courses/marxism-101/

    Or you can pick up a copy of Cutrone's book The Death of the Millennial Left here: https://sublationmedia.com/product/the-death-of-the-millennial-left-interventions-2006-2022/

  • David Goggins vs. Pierre Bourdieu: The Philosophy of STAY HARD!

    To try to understand David Goggins, should we turn to psychology or sociology? What about psychoanalysis or critical social theory, e.g. Jacques Lacan vs. Pierre Bourdieu?

    Before we can even get there, we first have to situate critical social theory as between or beyond Marxism and phenomenology. That means some recap of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger will be necessary. All of the above thinkers are some of the most complex, difficult, and profound of all time. They all have something utterly essential to gift the field of underground theory. If you feel overwhelmed at any point, just remember, STAY HARD!

    Theory Underground is a lecture, research, and publishing platform by and for working class intellectuals, autodidacts, and academics who want to do more than they are able to within the confines of academia.

     

    Think of Theory Underground like a Jiu Jitsu gym for your brain. Or like a post-political theory church. It doesn’t matter. None of the analogies will do it justice. We’re post-identity anyway. Just see if the vibe is right for you. We hope you get something out of it!

     

    If you want to help me get setup sooner/faster in a totally gratuitous way, or support me but you don’t care about the subscription or want to bother with the monthly stuff, here is a way to buy me something concrete and immediately useful, then you can buy me important equipment for my office on this list (these items will be automatically shipped to my address if you use the list here) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2MAWFYUJQIM58?
