Beschreibung
Mark Fisher, one of the most influential British cultural theorists of the 21st century, returns in this book to the music, films, and television shows that shaped his perception of the world, exploring deeper feelings of loss, melancholy, and cultural stagnation through them.
After the collapse of the vision of the future offered by the modernist projects of the last century, according to Fisher, our culture has become obsessed with its own past. Pop has become hauntological – haunted by the specters of what could have been but never was.
Fisher writes with typical insight about Joy Division, Burial, Stanley Kubrick, and the BBC. He reveals how cultural products of the last decades continually recycle the past and how the collective imagination has become stuck in repetition, as it can no longer envision anything radically new.
