Mark Fisher and Poscapitalist Desire: Reading "Egress: On Mourning, Melancholy, and Mark Fisher" with Matt Colquhoun (Part 1)

Author and photographer Matt Colquhoun joins the podcast to
discuss the elegiac biography and personal memoir Egress: On
Mourning, Melancholy, and Mark Fisher (Repeater Books). As we
discuss the book, we revisit Mark Fisher's concept of
postcapitalist desire and develop a broader discussion of
Fisher's life and work. We then consider possible trajectories
for what would have been Fisher's 'acid communism', the concept
behind his famed incomplete manifesto. Also, we hit upon the work
of Bataille, Blanchot, Deleuze & Guattari, Kant, Freud, Ray
Brassier, Nick Land, and others. Learn more about Matt and his
work at xenogothic.com.
