The Centre for Cultural Studies Research at the University of East London welcomes Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? author Mark Fisher to launch his new book, Ghost of My Life, in conversation with the London-based artist and writer Laura Oldfield Ford. Are we, as Fisher argues, haunted by futures that failed to happen?
Thursday 24 April
Room US.G.17, University of East London, University Square Stratford, 1 Salway Road, London, E15 1NF
19:00-21:00
“Ghosts Of My Life confirms that Mark Fisher is our most penetrating explorer of the connections between pop culture, politics, and personal life under the affective regime of digital capitalism. The most admirable qualities of Fisher’s work are its lucidity, reflecting the urgency of his commitment to communicating ideas; his high expectations of popular art’s power to challenge, enlighten, and heal; and his adamant refusal to settle for less.” Simon Reynolds, author of Retromania and Rip It Up and Start Again
