Description
A collection of transcripts from Mark Fisher's final series of lectures at Goldsmiths, University of London, in late 2016.
Edited and with an introduction by Matt Colquhoun, this collection of lecture notes and transcriptions reveals acclaimed writer and blogger Mark Fisher in his element -- the classroom -- outlining a project that Fisher's death left so bittersweetly unfinished.
Beginning with that most fundamental of questions -- "Do we really want what we say we want?" -- Fisher explores the relationship between desire and capitalism, and wonders what new forms of desire we might still excavate from the past, present, and future. From the emergence and failure of the counterculture in the 1970s to the continued development of his left-accelerationist line of thinking, this volume charts a tragically interrupted course for thinking about the raising of a new kind of consciousness, and the cultural and political implications of doing so.
For Fisher, this process of consciousness raising was always, fundamentally, psychedelic -- just not in the way that we might think...

Man muss sich schon bewusst machen das es Transkripte seines letzten Seminars sind und keine ausformulierten Texte. Aber die Themen sind schon sehr interessant und machen nochmal viele Perspektiven und Texte auf, bei denen es sich sehr zu lohnen scheint denen nochmal genauer nachzugehen. Er ist auf jeden Fall ein Denker von dem noch so viel zu erwarten gewesen wäre und der heute richtig bitter fehlt.
