About this listen

What's wrong and what's right? And why is it that when we start to say something is wrong today, people will often say that it is "right coded"? What IS right, in this political sense, and also in the moral sense? What's the difference? Dave and Ann are a married couple at the core of Theory Underground. They have co-taught courses together, which will sometimes be found here. However, this is primarily their podcast for moral and cultural commentary. David McKerracher and Ann Snelgrove-McKerracher have an ongoing research seminar in critical social theory at Theory Underground. Drawing from sociology, philosophy, critical media theory, and critical doxology and timenergy theory, they lead cohorts of TU subscribers into and through fascinating new ways of thinking about and seeing the world... This series on Substack is making public those seminar sessions in audio and transcript form.

    Theory Underground exists to cultivate the conditions necessary for a working class intellectual renaissance that goes beyond old political categories or other identitarian niches. At TU, autodidact workers with earbuds and professionals who see no future in existing institutions or movements are able to challenge their doxa and develop an understanding of the situation we are in. The aim of this work is to change the coordinates of thought, action, and organizing in American culture, so as to make possible large scale structural change for the sake of timenergy for all.

    If you subscribe at https://theoryunderground.com/subscribe you'll get access to a package of courses, including:

    12 Core Concepts with social theorist David McKerracher 12 Essential Political Theorists with political theorist Benjamin Studebaker The Philosophy of Nature with philosopher Nina Power

    Past courses include Intro to Marxism with Chris Cutrone, The Clinical Structures of Psychoanalysis with Leon Brenner, Intro to Lacan with Todd McGowan, and The Fault-Line Theory (Intro to Nick Land and Intro to Slavoj Zizek) with Michael Downs, as well as many more!

    The way these all get woven together at a deeper and more meta level is through the ongoing research seminars led by David McKerracher and Benjamin Studebaker, where they engage with one another’s work by sharing developments from their own perspectives, theory, and research.

    If you subscribe at higher levels and support our work, we'll support your development with bespoke teaching. Alone and unaided, we struggle to grasp our situation in its fullness and formulate a meaningful response. By working together and pooling our energies, we can do better.
