    Post Capitalist Desire: Mark Fisher The Final Lectures

  2. @wjmaggos @DavidM_yeg @liaizon

    Maybe not #anticapitalist, but #postcapitalist.

    "#MarkFisher’s “#postcapitalistisland” isn’t a meticulously defined term in his work, but rather a powerful metaphor and conceptual tool he used in #CapitalistRealism (2009), to explore the possibility of imagining & creating spaces outside the logic of #capitalism.
    …a zone of exception where different social relations, values, and modes of being can (temporarily) flourish."

  3. They're aware that, what is out there, has got away with something. What is out there is capitalism, the latest form of capitulation, whatever you call it. The whole thing feels ordinary and grossly engorged in some kind of obscure libido. Feeling of it being ordinary peels away in glimpsing even a tiny part of a gigantic behind the scenes infrastructure. Peels away even more when the everyday glam, the world of tower blocks, department stores, software devices is destroyed by an awareness of its sweatshops and reality blocking addictions. They've been watching the BBC adaptations of MR James' ghost stories with the soundtrack off, and with Brian Eno's album On Land playing instead. The abstract spaces of sky and land with a single figure in the middle distance, an incursion from the unknown, the music evoking Suffolk spaces of calm serving attachment, an attachment of delirium.

  5. Mark Fisher | Acid Communism (Unfinished Introduction)

    "Populations are resigned to the sadness of work, even as they are told that automation is making their jobs disappear. We must regain the optimism of that Seventies moment, just as we must carefully analyse all the machineries that capital deployed to convert confidence into dejection. Understanding how this process of consciousness-deflation worked is the first step to reversing it."

  6. My November writing continues, apace. I’m on track in terms of word count but I’ve run into a snag in my writing where my timeline is far too short to contain my story. While I sort out my next move, I’m listening to an audio version of Mark Fisher’s Post Capitalist Desire on YouTube. It’s 7+ hours long. I’m clearly not good at time management.

  7. From #MarkFisher: "Desejo #PósCapitalista"
    "Are we moving #beyondcapitalism? If so, what alternatives are we moving towards and how will they be implemented?
    #BlaqSwans, a group that tracks and analyzes improbable events that shake the prevailing system, adapted the Collaborative Economy Honeycomb to help the #P2PFoundation begin to answer these questions. The diagrams and full article can be found on the P2P Foundation’s site #CommonsTransition."

  8. What appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources. Digito-commodification is the index of a cyberpositively escalating technovirus, of the planetary technocapital singularity: a self-organizing insidious traumatism, virtually guiding the entire biological desiring-complex towards post-carbon replicator usurpation.

    Nick Land (1993): Machinic desire, Textual Practice, 7:3, 471-482 as cited and discussed by Mark Fisher in 2014. Article here. See also Meditations on Machinic Desire for a discussion of Land's text.

  9. Toujours intéressant de lire Chatonsky, même si ici je reste sur ma faim. Et puis, je reste sceptique face à sa façon de s'accrocher à l'accélérationnisme de gauche ( sans doute parce que j'ai enjambé ce mouvement pour me plonger directement dans la pensée de #MarkFisher qui a très vite rompu avec ce mouvement en s'opposant aux dérives de ses anciens potes comme Nick Land... Avec le résultat actuel que dénonce évidemment Chatonsky)

  10. "#MarkFisher was the first great thinker of the digital age, with most of his writing remaining online. He never thought that #digitalculture was itself the problem, slowly cancelling the future; it is #capitalism that is responsible for the digital crises of the present, and its claim of monopoly on digitality is only a recent development, albeit one Mark foresaw with great clarity."

  12. "#AcidCorbynism is partly inspired by the late #MarkFisher’s unfinished book #AcidCommunism, later becoming immortalised as the topic of a discussion at Labour Party fringe conference #TheWorldTransformed. Now (2018) sections of the party are looking to develop the idea, discussing ways in which a Corbyn project can engender new forms of collective consciousness informed by countercultural projects of the past."

    O texto levanta aspectos interessantes, mas chegando ao final fica a impressão de que Ivana, e toda a turma, estão envoltos por um certo #realismoAlgoritmico. Lembrando #MarkFisher, é como se fosse mais fácil imaginar o fim do mundo do que a superação do monopólio das BigTechs pelos protocolos de redes sociais descentralizadas — a verdadeira esfera pública.

  16. #MarkFisher — “Desejo Pós-Capitalista” é mais uma edição que já nasce clássica, com os cuidados da equipe responsável em extrair para o português, o melhor do refinado e necessário pensamento desse que é um dos grandes leitores do mundo contemporâneo, a golpes de política, sociologia filosofia e muita música.
