Our Story

A sole commitment drives this space: flowing life and its contingencies. Rare and unbound joy jostles here with radical intellectual pessimism. To look keenly and critically at life also means to value humour, wit and irony. We appreciate the performative side of living, but trimmings and garnishing do not interest us. Though we emphasise that life can be appreciated from within life itself, HumantiesUnderground values rigorous analysis, play drive and abstractions in thinking and creativity. We prefer to keep away from shoddy amateurism and academicism alike.
