The goal of this series is not to make an argument so much as lay out a bunch of sources, to let them speak for themselves, and to empower critical thinkers to theorize their situation anew, in a way that leftists tend to obstruct with their reification of the hope industry, duopoly, and "history" as a simulation of roots to and endurance of bygone era meant to provide niche identarian (PMC ascendent or fallen professional holier than thou) belonging that only functionally serves the needs of HR's (and the broader bureaucratic) encroachments into working peoples' lives and the reduction of everything to the service of either capital or state interests.
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.
