Mark Fisher
Mark Fisher
The cultural impact of Mark Fisher's work continues to grow years after his death in 2017. His tough but always accessible dissection of the system and its endemic problems was captured in essays, posts, and books, such as Capitalist Realism, which gave rise to this conversation. The book explores the dangerous connection between neoliberalism and mental health, almost as a tragic portent of his death, although it is much more than that. In the podcast, Fisher talks about the avalanche of repercussions of the 2008 financial crash, particularly in relation to the idea of capitalism as the only possible framework.
Marta Echaves
In this podcast, we speak to esearcher, writer, and cultural producer Marta Echaves about the political persistence of the mystery and multidimensionality of substances. We follow a chemical pendulum between trust and distrust, while exploring writing practices, epistles, and fabulation as methodology. We look at the temporal undulations and curves of the dance floor and Marcia Moore’s shimmering visions as fragments of a genealogy yet to be written, sparking a conversation about ways in which we might challenge spirituality today, in an openly antagonistic way.
