As a way of launching 2023 Theory Underground is publishing short episodes on introduction to Lacan and Žižek. These conversations are between Michael Downs and David McKerracher AKA Mikey from The Dangerous Maybe Blog and Dave, who formerly went by Theory Pleeb.
Consider this a refresher for the upcoming course Mikey is teaching with Dave on Žižek’s For They Know Not What They Do: https://theory-underground.com/courses/FTKNWTD
ABOUT / CREDITS / LINKS
Welcome to the Theory Underground.
Theory Underground aims to make challenging philosophical and theoretical work accessible, not by summarizing, but by aiding those who seek to engage in this work as a way of life.

Do you have questions, comments, or something to share that would be better off on the community site? Join the public forum here: https://theory-underground.com/forums/forum/main/
If you take a course or join a discussion, there will be a group with dedicated forums on the website. Because fuck Discord. We want to honor quality questions, not bury them. We want to honor people who actually read as opposed to staying glued to their phones all day, so we aren’t going to become reliant on a “community” app that is so attention-demanding.
Forums give people time to think and come back later to ask questions or add to discussions.
