Sinossi
"Spettri della mia vita" è l'opera ardita di un uomo nato sotto Saturno che affrontava ogni giorno i suoi fantasmi, è il racconto struggente di uno scrittore e critico geniale che sentiva la nostalgia del futuro. Intrecciando indissolubilmente pubblico e privato, coglie Mark Fisher nei suoi momenti più intimi e scoperti. La critica culturale sconfina in analisi esistenziale e cultura pop, «di massa», si incarna nel singolo, che vive nella sua concreta esperienza i fenomeni di cui scrive. Tra letture di Sebald e Peace, ascolti di Joy Division e Burial, visioni di Stalker e Inception, Fisher compone una mappa del sentimento individuale e collettivo.

Tutto rallenta: l'eterno presente del capitale “Sono un prigioniero. In qualche modo tornerò libero”. La politica ha privatizzato la mente umana, afferma Mark Fisher, seguendo nell'analisi del neoliberalismo capitalista il concetto centrale nelle teorie di Fredric Jameson in The Seeds of Time : ”a noi Leggi tutto
The slow cancellation of the future has been accompanied by a deflation of expectations. You're killing me, Zero Books, just killing me. Years ago, when Hope and Change were in the air my wife asked me what sort of revolutionary are you? I responded, I'm a janitor -- which is likely a quote from a Ge Leggi tutto
Fisher is always worth reading for the fascinating connections he makes between aspects of culture and the hypotheses he derives from those connections. This collection of old blog posts and short essays, however, is not among his most satisfying works. Interesting for those of us who grew up in the Leggi tutto
A collection of blog posts and short essays from the past 10 years or so, loosely connected around the notion of "hauntology", which Fisher takes from Derrida's "Specters Of Marx" (although the word first appeared in Christine Brooke-Rose's "Amalgamemnon" in 1984). This contains some interesting vie Leggi tutto
