The Centre for Cultural Studies Research at the University of East London is staging a Hauntology event this coming Thursday to mark the publication of Mark Fisher's new book, Ghosts of My Life. Mark will discuss his work with London-based artist and writer Laura Oldfield Ford. Are we, as Mark argues, haunted by futures that failed to happen?
Thursday 24 April

“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
