Bram E. Gieben guests on Theory Underground
I joined a live stream today with 'Timenergy' theorist David McKerracher
Earlier today I joined an epic livestream on David McKerracher's Theory Underground channel. I have been a big fan of Theory Underground since their podcast episode ‘In Defence of Slavoj Žižek’ and it was great to get a chance to meet David. I’m on for an hour with a few other guests, starting at around 2:12:09. Or you can click below to watch.
We talked about Slavoj Žižek, Mark Fisher, Revol Press, and David's upcoming European tour to promote his book Timenergy: Why you have no Time or Energy, and also the recent bonanza-sized essay collection from TU, Underground Theory, which includes contributions from excellent writers such as Daniel Tutt and Mike Watson, and a new essay from Žižek.
David will be my next guest on Strange Exiles, along with his regular collaborator Michael Downs, author of The Dangerous Maybe blog. I'll also be helping organise an event with David in Glasgow this May, which we talked about a little bit on his show today. Look out for more news on this very soon!
The rest of the livestream features some interesting guests, including Anna Greenspan (founding member of the CCRU), Todd McGowan, and Doug Lain of Sublation Media.
