Material Concerns: Desperate to Understand
Welcome back to Material Concerns — our out of format episode featuring guest co-host, Coach! In this week's episode, we do a very long check-in (as we are wont to do!) and follow it up with a Fixation Station!
In Part II, we continue our impromptu Canada Moment and then head into Consumer Retorts and Creature Report! Head to patreon.com/ohwitchplease now to join a tier that works for your budget!
Happy listening! We'll be back next week with a regular format episode!
Material Girls is a show that makes sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.
*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.
