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.

FISHER, MARK
Mark Fisher (1968-2017) se dio a conocer como crítico cultural gracias a K-Punk, un blog pionero en los primeros años de internet en el que escribía extensos artículos sobre música, filosofía contemporánea, análisis político, ciencia-ficción y cine. Más tarde empezó a publicar en revistas y diarios de prestigio como The Guardian, The Wire o frieze. Es autor de los libros Realismo capitalista, publicado en castellano por Caja Negra, y Ghosts of my Life, una selección de ensayos sobre futuros imposibles, depresión y la percepción cultural de la memoria.
