![]() ![]() Anyway, somehow I came across his 2009 book Capitalist Realism and then went down the Mark Fisher rabbit hole and found out that some of his former students/ colleagues just published a collection of transcripts from Mark Fisher's final series of lectures at Goldsmiths, University of London, in late 2016 called “Postcapitalist Desire” (Repeater, 2021). It is a worthy companion to Fisher's published work as one of the influential cultural critics and thinkers in our time, and for the countless people he has inspired, a bittersweet trail of his ideas and theoretical aspirations, before he left us. I was instantly fascinated by his proposed syllabus and plans for the entire course, but of course we were denied the pleasure of watching how Fisher would conclude his intimate exploration of libidinal desire and how we can reclaim and reshape it to set the world free. As with his writings, the air of sympathy, of kindness, of caring for something greater and beyond, is always present. Mark Fisher was a believer in a way out of the nightmarish spiral of capitalism right until the very end, and this comes across in his brilliant lectures. That Fisher is as captivating a teacher as he was a brilliant writer, did come as a surprise, but not his transparent ability to blend theories and ideas with real life. ![]() ![]() Finished, in the haste of catching trains and flights, trapped in the liminal space of stations and airports, even more eerie in the dismal light of pandemic regulations. ![]()
